EXCLUSIVE: GOPChairwoman Ronna McDaniel says she'll win RNC chair despite state defections
In a conversation with the Washington Examiner, the RNC chairwoman touted the written support of two-thirds of states — more than enough to win the 51% of votes she will need to win the election at the party’s winter meeting in California at the end of the month.
Several states have announced they've lost confidence in McDaniel primarily over the results of the previous three elections, including the one last year in which Republicans failed to win a Senate majority and only won the House by a small margin. Alabama became the latest defector on Monday, joining other states, including Arizona and Texas.McDaniel maintained that the RNC was not to blame for shortcomings in congressional elections last November.
Nevertheless, problems are being addressed and fixed ahead of 2024, she said. In the Senate, candidates were first-time contenders, meaning they came in with no experience from previous campaigns. Inexperienced candidates can mean no fundraising infrastructure and less-than-ideal campaign consultants, which are areas she is working on now to improve the party's chances next year.
