Harmeet Dhillon's bid to unseat Ronna McDaniel as chairwoman of the Republican National Committee got a boost from a group of megadonors.
The donors backing Dhillon warned the GOP is"on the verge of permanent irrelevance" if it fails to elect new leadership.
"We are calling on members of the RNC to thank Ronna McDaniel for her service and to support the only RNC member seeking to succeed her, Harmeet Dhillon — a bold visionary with the energy and experience to retool the party for success in 2024 and beyond," they continued. “Ronna is a proven fundraiser having raised staggering resources during her tenure; resources which campaigns at all levels across the country rely on to win," Washburne wrote in a letter to RNC members in December."She has built and grown a Republican infrastructure that will stand the test of time."
At least two Republicans are challenging McDaniel, including Dhillon, a lawyer and RNC committeewoman, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. McDaniel initially faced a high-profile challenge from Rep. Lee Zeldin , who later bowed out but maintained that McDaniel should step down.
