Race for GOP chair obscures the party's bigger problems.
American politician and chair of the Republican National CommitteeHarmeet Dhillon, speaking at a conference hosted by Turning Point USA in Phoenix, is challenging Ronna McDaniel to lead the Republican National Committee.
Those Republicans, whose voices have grown louder in the wake of the party’s weak November showing, see any hopes of wooing swing voters and moderates back to the GOP as imperiled by Trump’s endless harping on his own grievances; the taint surrounding his efforts to remain in power after his 2020 defeat; and the continuing dramas around purloined classified documents, his company’s tax fraud conviction and his insistence on trying to make a political comeback.
The circus brewing ahead of the RNC’s Jan. 25 gathering does not bode well for members who believe the party’s troubles stem from Trump. The 2022 review committee includes Jane Brady, a former attorney general of Delaware, and Kim Borchers, a committee member from Kansas, but it is also being co-chaired by Dhillon, who, at least for now, has spent the past weeks rallying the hard right, not courting the center.
Kuckelman also said McDaniel was being unfairly blamed for losses in key Senate and House contests. “Everybody needs to bring the temperature down a little bit,” he said. “Ronna McDaniel does not pick candidates. Republicans do that in the primaries. Her job is to get the vote out, and she does get the vote out.
Given the circumstances, Palatucci said McDaniel remains favored for reelection, but anything could happen over the next month.
