.GOPchairwoman Ronna McDaniel facing another challenger for RNC chair
Lawyer and RNC committeewoman Harmeet Dhillon said she is considering running for the top spot and will likely make an announcement within the next few days. McDaniel is running for a fourth term as RNC chairwoman, though she is facing calls for new leadership after the GOP's disappointing performance in the 2022 midterm elections.
Rep. Lee Zeldin is considering a run for RNC chair after his bid for New York governor came within 6 points of ousting Gov. Kathy Hochul in the deep-blue state. He hasn't announced his bid either. “Congressman Zeldin is humbled by the outpouring of support he is receiving from conservative leaders across the country and is seriously considering a run for RNC chair,” Brian Morgenstern, a Zeldin adviser, told the Washington Examiner last week. “He continues to speak with members of the RNC regarding the best path forward to retool, transform, and reenergize the party to take back the White House and win control of both houses of congress in 2024.
Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a conservative activist, is also running, having told Steve Bannon, a top adviser to former President Donald Trump, that"with all my due diligence and in prayer, I am 100% running for RNC chairman against Ronna McDaniel.”The 168 members of the committee will vote on the next leader at their annual meeting in January.
Dhillon is a lawyer and media contributor whose law firm has represented Trump-aligned candidates such as former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Trump himself. Dhillon did not respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.
