Breaking news: The Republican National Committee on Friday voted to reelect Ronna McDaniel to a fourth two-year term as party chair, opting not to punish her for the GOP’s recent string of electoral defeats.
“Only 168 people can vote,” said Benjamin Proto, a committee member from Connecticut who is supporting McDaniel. “I don’t care what Tucker Carlson thinks the next chairman should do, or what Charlie Kirk does,” he said, referring to the Fox News host and Turning Point USA founder respectively. “So I think that was a mistake on Harmeet’s part, it was just a strategic error.
“She’s just a stronger voice for change, and I think the RNC needs change,” said Bill Palatucci, a committee member from New Jersey who supported Dhillon and is the RNC’s most vocal Trump critic. “I’m readily acknowledging that there is a tension there, but, you know, these are choices you’ve got to make.”
For Dhillon, trying to run around McDaniel on both flanks at the same time proved a tough play to manage. She offered a role to Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and, 2021, rally that preceded the riot at the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. Wren offered RNC members to hold events with Lake and other surrogates to raise money for their state parties if they voted for Dhillon.
further offended some members with critiques of the RNC’s spending that could sound like attacks on the very members whose votes she needed to win. “All of us got thousands of emails, all of them unwelcome. And many of them moronic, sad, pathetic,” one member supporting McDaniel said. “Some of them intelligent, some of them engaging, most of them robotic. Scissors, paste.”
Fredericks, in an interview later at the Waldorf Astoria hotel where the RNC meeting is being held, criticized the event’s exclusiveness, which several RNC members supporting Dhillon also said was a bad look. “You can’t have a movement and then when you have your party election have it only for the elite and cut everybody out,” Fredericks said. “This whole atmosphere is representative of the consultant corruption circle of cash that goes on in the RNC.
