Now that the battle for Speaker of the House has finally been resolved, Republicans will turn their attention to the other party skirmish that’s unfolding, the fight over RNC chair.
Incumbent Ronna McDaniel is facing challengers but has the backing of some of the party’s major donors. This might not be the endorsement she wants in this race.
FOX News reports:
Ronna McDaniel lands endorsements from Republican mega-donors in bid for fourth term leading RNCMore than half a dozen major GOP donors have endorsed Ronna McDaniel in her bid for a fourth term as chair of the Republican National Committee, Fox News has learned.The major donors include Dave Kelsey, Melinda Hildebrand, Dr. James Reibel, Jeff Burns, Bobby Schostak, and Marianne and John Gibson.Those donors, collectively, have contributed at least $14 million to the Republican Party since 2017, when McDaniel began her tenure as chair of the RNC.”I would not be a max donor to the RNC without the confidence I have in Ronna McDaniel as chairwoman and outstanding fundraiser,” Kelsey told Fox News. “My own experience is exemplar, Ronna actively reached out to me to grow my contributions, convincing me with meaningful conversations, updates and insights into her and her team’s strategy and tactics.”Kelsey said he “deeply” believes McDaniel “has proven to be an excellent steward of the funds invested in the RNC, making the right decisions needed for allocating resources to efforts with the best prospects.”
Glenn Beck recently spoke with Harmeet Dhillon, the Republican lawyer and RNC member who presents the most serious challenge to McDaniel. Watch below:
