Mike Lindell announced his bid to run as chairman of the Republican National Committee on Monday, mounting a challenge to Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, whom he says has “failed” the GOP after the party’s lackluster midterm performance.
His announcement comes just days after the MyPillow CEO hinted at a long-shot bid to run against McDaniel, noting Republicans need someone who “knows how to run a business” at the helm of the party.“I am 100% running for the RNC chairman against Ronna McDaniel. 100%,” Lindell told Steve Bannon on his show War Room on Monday. “I’m all in, Steve.”“I am 100% running for the RNC chairman against Ronna McDaniel. 100%, I’m all in, Steve.” pic.twitter.
Lindell also cited having widespread support from donors and members of the RNC, noting one donor told him, “‘Mike,’ he said, ‘Everyone wants you to be head of the RNC, some of them just don’t know it yet.’” “Not only am I going to win, but we are going to — it’s going to change real fast,” Lindell told Bannon. “We’re going to get our country righted real quick.”
The committee is scheduled to elect its next leader during its winter meeting in January. McDaniel has signaled she'd run for reelection, and a letter circulated by about 100 members of the RNC showed they would back her run. When asked to respond to Lindell's challenge, a spokesperson for McDaniel's reelection team referred the Washington Examiner back to this letter, citing the widespread support among the committee.
