On Friday, Ronna McDaniel was reelected as chair of the Republican National Committee, becoming the longest serving leader of the RNC since the Civil War. But now, McDaniel must confront a modern-day civil war within the GOP.
Ronna McDaniel, chair of the Republican National Committee, speaks at the 2023 RNC Winter Meeting in Dana Point, Calif. on Friday, Jan. 27, 2023. McDaniel won a fourth two-year term to lead the RNC, fending off a fierce challenge after the party's poor midterm showing. of the Republican National Committee since the Civil War. But now, she must confront a modern-day civil war within the GOP.
Trump quickly congratulated McDaniel on his social media platform after privately helping her campaign. But conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a Trump loyalist, likened McDaniel’s successful reelection to a “middle finger” for the GOP’s grassroots who demanded change at the institution that leads the party’s political activities.
McCarthy’s inability to control the hardline Trump loyalists in his conference now threatens to undermine a high-stakes vote on the nation’s debt limit that could send shockwaves through the U.S. economy if not resolved soon. So far, House Republicans haven’t articulated a specific set of demands. “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand,’” McDaniel said from the ballroom podium. “Nothing we do is more important than making sure that Joe Biden is a one-term president. But in order to do that, we have to be unified.”The conclusion of the RNC’s winter meeting marks the unofficial beginning of the 2024 presidential primary season.
Should he fail to clinch the GOP’s next presidential nomination, Trump has already dangled the possibility of a third-party presidential bid, which would all but ensure Democrats win the White House again in 2024.
