RNC elects Michael Whatley, Lara Trump as new leaders
Source: The Hill
RNC officials gathered in Houston for the groups leadership meetings, where they agreed to replace outgoing chair Ronna McDaniel, who resigned amid discord with Trump during the primary process.
Whatley, who has served as chair of the North Carolina GOP and RNC general counsel, is a Trump loyalist who has echoed the former presidents rhetoric about election integrity in the wake of the 2020 election, which Trump has falsely claimed was fraudulent and stolen.
In a 2021 appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference panel on protecting elections, Whatley spoke at length about his efforts to recruit hundreds of attorneys and volunteer poll watchers in North Carolina. He has also spoken skeptically about mail-in and absentee voting unless they are paired with voter ID requirements.

Starting out as a simple campaign volunteer, Lara rose through the ranks cutting her teeth on tough campaigns in almost every state in the nation. No one in America better qualified to run a massive national party like Lara Trump. Oh, did I forget to mention her multiple degrees political science from elite universities. Her numerous books on politics in America. Her ability to fundraise...I could go on and on. Suffice to say, we Democrats are cooked! COOKED! I tell you.

(50,569 posts)Mrs. Trump has stated that the RNC, if shes put in charge of it, is going to spend all its money on Donald Trump. Whether this means theyre going to spend it on his quixotic campaign or on buying his way out of the legal troubles hes in is immaterial at this point - if the RNC has a dollar its going to Donald Trump.
One of the biggest things a national party apparatus does is support downticket candidates. Will the party really put up with a if youre running for Congress or a governorship youre on your own, weve gotta pump up a man whos less popular than Pizza Rat policy?
