NRSC stands for National Republican Senatorial Committee, a political abbreviation.

Senate campaign arm of the Republican Party, recruiting candidates, raising money and running advertising in competitive Senate races. A Republican senator serves as its chair.

Example: An NRSC spokesperson called the challenger's fundraising totals underwhelming.

Usage notes

It mirrors the Democrats' DSCC. Because it helps choose and fund Senate candidates, its chair can have significant influence over which Republicans the party backs in primaries. Pronounced letter by letter, it is easily confused with the NRCC, the House committee.
