It’s a week of celebration for Republican women! We saw GOP ladies make gains in their state elections, steal the media spotlight, and support each other and future female leaders. Here’s four good news stories from this week.
Morgan Ortagus joins The View as a guest host
Morgan Ortagus, a former spokesperson for the State Department under President Trump, guest hosted The View this week.

Republican women win elections across New Jersey
In a record-setting night for the state, seven GOP women won their elections to the New Jersey Assembly last week. Much like the Republican sweep in Virginia, GOP women in New Jersey are attributing the “red wave” to issues surrounding education and COVID. As Republicans across the state continue their efforts to elect more right-leaning women to office, we’ll see what the 2022 election cycle brings for New Jersey and the country at large.

As of this writing, almost 200 Republican women have filed to run in the 2022 election cycle!
