The Republican National Committee has voted on its next chairperson and Ronna McDaniel was elected to serve two more years at the helm.
According to Fox News:
Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Friday was unanimously reelected to steer the GOP’s national party committee for another two years.
In a speech to the RNC committee members who reelected her and other top GOP officials, McDaniel vowed to help the Republican Party regain the House and Senate majorities in the 2022 midterms and had a warning, saying: “Democrats, get ready, buckle your seatbelts. We’re coming.”
McDaniel, the former leader of the Michigan GOP, was picked by President Trump to lead the national party soon after he was elected in 2016. She was reelected to a second two-year term in 2018.
Her reelection — which came at the RNC’s Winter Meeting that is being held this year in Amelia Island, Fla. — was expected. McDaniel was backed by President Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, as well as the vast majority of the roughly 168 RNC members.
This reelection means that President Trump will have a top ally leading the GOP which could help if he decided to run again in 2024.
