Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just made the election for the Republican National Committee chair more interesting.
In an interview with Charlie Kirk, DeSantis derided the RNC’s lackluster election results over the past three cycles with Ronna McDaniel at the party’s helm.
While McDaniel is confident that she has the support from delegates to win reelection, DeSantis’ announcement — and former President Donald Trump’s lack of an endorsement — have made the contest between McDaniel and Harmeet Dhillon a real race.
As Fox News reports:
The RNC showdown, their first hotly contested chair race in a dozen years, has become a contentious family feud as the GOP decides its leadership. All while the party jumps into an election cycle seeking to win back the White House, regain the Senate majority and hold its fragile control of the House. It also comes as the party aims to rebound from a disappointing showing in November’s midterm elections and as it debates the future of the party and Trump’s continued grip over the GOP.
McDaniel, who’s running for a fourth term steering the RNC, which is unprecedented in modern times, is being challenged by Dhillon, an attorney who served as a Trump legal adviser. Dhillon announced her bid for RNC chair on the Fox News Channel early last month.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a strong supporter of Trump’s unproven claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen, is also running as he wages a long-shot bid for the chair.
McDaniel, who, as Michigan GOP chair, was Trump’s handpicked choice to steer the committee after he won the White House in 2016, was reelected to the post in 2019 and 2021. McDaniel is urging stability while Dhillon runs an insurgent campaign, stressing that change is needed following the Republican Party’s lackluster performance in the 2022 midterms, which many in the GOP expected to be a red wave election.
Voting is scheduled to start this afternoon. The winner must receive support from the majority of delegates.

The one thing that bugged me with the last two elections was we couldn’t find out who the heck was the republicans running. Everybody knew the democrats running, they were all over the news, but, the night before the election suddenly, the republican was mentioned as running against the democrat. What the? There is a republican running? Is not that the main job of a party, making sure the whole world knows who is running for your party. And, when a problem shows up during the election, the republican party head disappears and doesn’t race down to the election place and stop the problem. Isn’t that the second job of the party, making sure the election people are backed up by a party that runs their lawyers and police over to the election site as the election is being stolen always from the republicans or better yet, make sure the republican watchers are in the election site before the democrats are and who don’t leave when democrats tell them to (what the?). The establishment people who vote with democrats need to be cleaned out so we can get real republicans running and working for us. It seemed to be if it was a conservative running as republican we never heard anything about the conservative but if it was a person who hated Trump otherwise a fake republican, a rino, an establishment republican, we saw lots of coverage for them running. It was anti republicans who voted in the same woman, and that’s proof as to why we, every day republicans lose. We need a new party, or better the old republican party of days ago, not a get along with our enemies of today party.
