Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel has faced backlash from within the party for years, in large part due to the GOP’s record of electoral losses under her leadership.
Her last re-election campaign was nearly derailed by rivals who insisted that the RNC needed a new head, and 2024 GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump seems to agree.

According to RedState:
Former president Donald Trump strongly hinted Sunday that RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is on the way out. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Channel’s Maria Bartiromo, “You have to understand, I have nothing to do with the RNC; I’m separate,” said Trump, “I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me, I think she did OK initially in the RNC. I would say right now there will probably be some changes made.”
Replacing McDaniel has been a topic of considerable discussion on social media in recent months.
When have you ever seen Ronna Romney McDaniel ever take the time to register voters ?
Scott would be a better fit as RNC Chairman.
Agree ?
Resign Ronna. pic.twitter.com/kl4R3wmjds

During a GOP presidential primary debate in November, then-candidate Vivek Ramaswamy shared his disapproval of McDaniel’s performance in the role.
According to The Hill:
“We have to have accountability in our party. For that matter, Ronna, if you want to come on stage tonight and look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will turn over, yield my time to you,” Ramaswamy said.
The campaign for President Biden highlighted Ramaswamy’s comments in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Ramaswamy: We’ve become a party of losers,” the post states, along with a video of his comments.
Here’s a clip of Ramaswamy’s remark:
In my opinion, simply being related to “Pierre Delecto” is reason enough for her removal….
BUT SO IS THIS:
Ronna “Romney” McDaniel, RNC EXPOSED For Wasting MILLIONS of Dollars!

I guess “wasting” is a subjective term, but I’ve got a huge new report on RNC spending and I’ll just let you decide.
You know every time you donate to the RNC and you think you’re helping President Trump?
Think again.
This is where they’ve actually been spending your money (and why they’re BROKE!)….

The story originally broke from RedState who had this excellent reporting:
Despite Joe Biden’s economy and three straight cycles of election losses, the RNC’s big-spending days are back with a vengeance.
Perhaps because of these losses both RNC donors and committee members are intensely interested in the committee’s finances, particularly the spending. Late last week, RedState was provided a report dated October 7, 2022 that examined RNC’s 2021-22 spending. It calculated more than $500,000 in private jet expenses, $64,000 at clothing retailers, and $321,000 in floral arrangements.
ADVERTISEMENTRNC expenditures for private jets, floral arrangements, entertainment, and more during the 2021-22 election cycle.
To determine how that compared with the rest of Ronna McDaniel’s tenure, RedState examined RNC expenditures from 2017 through 2022. In addition to a review of Federal Elections Commission (FEC) data, RedState spoke with current vendors, state party officials familiar with the workings, former staffers (some from McDaniel’s tenure, and some who worked for prior chairs), and several current RNC members to verify numbers and dates. Most were only willing to discuss the matters on background, and all were promised anonymity to avoid potential retaliation.It is difficult to accurately categorize all of the expenditures because a significant number of transactions seem to be misclassified. For example, nearly $5,000 spent in 2022 at Lululemon, a luxury athletic apparel brand, was classified as “office expense,” as were two expenditures totaling $9,300 at Madison Square Garden in 2017.
Our review found that the amounts spent during the 2021-22 election cycle seem to have been par for the course and possibly even lower than previous portions of McDaniel’s tenure. According to FEC filings, since 2017, the RNC has spent:
$3.1 million on private jet services
$1.3 million on limousine/chauffeur services
$17.1 million on donor mementos
$750,000 on floral arrangements
$80,000 in alcohol-related expenditures
Nearly $400,000 has been spent on event tickets and other entertainment activities, including $30,000 for a private box at a Las Vegas Raiders game, $13,000 for Broadway shows, $9,400 at Madison Square Garden, and $43,000 at Top Golf locations in Texas, Nevada, Virginia, and Maryland.According to a senior staffer, the private box Raiders game was part of a retreat for senior staff members. RNC funds were also used to fly the senior staffers and their plus-ones first-class to Las Vegas, and for their hotel rooms, food, and alcohol, the staffer says.
Senior staff retreats were also held at the Salamander Resort & Spa in Virginia in 2021 and 2022, according to another staffer. A national committee member says that at the 2021 retreat, held from March 19-21, 30 senior staffers and their families attended, and the RNC paid for Katie Walsh and Mike Shields to speak to the group. FEC reporting shows that the RNC paid $260,000 to the resort in 2021 and 2022, classified as travel expenses and venue rental and catering.

From Newsmax:
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced Monday he is "100% running" to be chair of the Republican National Committee, a position now held by Ronna McDaniel.
Lindell went public with the expected decision during Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast.
"With all my due diligence and in prayer, I am 100% running for RNC chairman against Ronna McDaniel," Lindell said.
"I didn't hear one negative from donors, from heads of state," he added.
"Not only am I going to win, it's going to change real fast," he said about the RNC. "We're going to get our country right, really quick."
Lindell later told Business Insider his first priority is to call all 168 members of the RNC to find out what the biggest problem is with the organization.
McDaniel has already been endorsed by a majority of the RNC's voting members — 101 in total — who signed on to a letter endorsing her re-election, The Hill has reported.
Lindell has been open about his interest in the job, telling National File that Republicans "need someone who knows how to run a business to lead one of the most important organizations in our country."
Jenna Ellis had an exclusive interview with Mike...

Minnesota bank heartlessly CANCELS Mike Lindell's Recovery Networkhttps://t.co/PGp1ezbvQv
— RSBN 🇺🇸 (@RSBNetwork) January 14, 2022
From Trending Politics:
Best known as the CEO of MyPillow, Mike Lindell says one of the nation’s largest banks is moving to dump the nine businesses and charities he has founded in the wake of his success with MyPillow.
Among them are the social media sites FrankSpeech.com and Lindell TV, and the Lindell Recovery Network, which helps people overcome addictions, Lindell said in an interview Friday with Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.”
Bannon played a recording of a telephone call between a top executive at Minnesota Bank & Trust and Lindell’s controller.
The executive asked in the call why the bank, a subsidiary of Heartland Financial, is associated with “someone who could be in the news.”
“Not that the FBI is even sniffing and looking, but what if somebody came and said, ‘Do you know what? We are going to subpoena all of his account records, and this and that. And then all of a sudden we make the news,” the executive said.
“So it’s more of a reputation risk,” he said.
You can listen to that conversation here on Rumble:
Here's more from Trending Politics:
Lindell, after his controller informed him of the bank’s intentions, tried to call CEO Stephen Bishop but was put on hold for an hour. He called back and was put on hold for another 45 minutes.
“They’re telling us you need to leave our bank,” Lindell told Bannon. “They said they want FrankSpeech gone … in a week, and they want all the rest gone in 30 days.
“I said, I am not … leaving, so you’re going to have to throw me out of your bank.”
Lindell noted that such canceling hasn’t worked out well for Bed, Bath, and Beyond, having closed 37 stores since canceling his products.
Well, America the time to act is now.

JCPenny— Eric Metaxas (@ericmetaxas) February 10, 2021
And from Patriot Fetch:
To be clear, that means that a) a hard-working entrepreneur was denied access to financial services because of his political views and b) that an American bank is so fearful of the FBI that it’s willing to toss a major customer, one it knows can call upon his allies in the media and influencer space for help and visibility, out into the cold. Both of those facts point to a dark future.
In any case, Lindell says that immediately after his controller told him that the bank was trying to cancel him, he tried to call the bank’s CEO, Stephen Bishop. However, despite being a major customer (just think how much business MyPillow does), the bank put him on hold for an hour. He then tried calling back but was put on hold yet again, this time for another 45 minutes.
Despite that, Lindell remained defiant, saying that while the bank wants the Frank Speech account gone within a week and the rest in thirty days, he said “I am not … leaving, so you’re going to have to throw me out of your bank.”
Lindell likely has good reasons to be optimistic. While finding another bank, one willing to do business with him, will be a pain and likely cause a significant headache for his thriving business, he’s survived cancellation before.
