DeSantis is backing a change at the top of the Republican National Committee, telling conservative activist Charlie Kirk that he likes what he's hearing from challenger Harmeet Dhillon.
His support for Dhillon, a lawyer from California, may not swing the RNC chair vote but is a sign that some in the GOP see an opportunity to break with Ronna McDaniel.McDaniel was elected head of the RNC in 2017, overseeing the operation in the 2018, 2020 and 2022 cycles.“I mean, we defied history in 2018, picking up three Senate seats in a midterm year. We picked up 15 seats in 2020 in the House, which was unprecedented, and then this year, winning back the House.
“This isn’t 2016,” said Mac Brown, the chairman of the Republican Party of Kentucky. “People have moved on.” “Did I vote for Trump in 2016? You bet. Did I vote for him in 2020? You bet ... Now, I don’t know," said Delaware RNC delegate Hank McCann.Winning the RNC chairmanship is about catering to the interests and whims of at least 85 members — all of whom have agendas that go beyond simply advancing the interests of the Republican Party.
