McDonnell: GOP must be more inclusive

(CNN) - Election results from Tuesday night show the Republican Party must open its arms to a wider swath of voters, Virginia's GOP Gov. Bob McDonnell said Wednesday on CNN's "Erin Burnett Outfront."

"We've got to be a lot more inclusive and open and energetic and wanting people to join our team by expressing why these conservative values are good for people of all races, creeds, colors, and national origin," McDonnell, previously a top surrogate for Mitt Romney, said on the program. "We've just got to do a better job with that."
