Trump hints RNC boss Ronna McDaniel should step down as org runs low on cash
NY Post
Former President Donald Trump hinted Ronna McDaniel should vacate her position as Republican National Committee chair, appearing to reverse course from his earlier support after the organization reported decade-low fundraising numbers entering the presidential election year.
The GOP front-runner, 77, was asked Monday on Newsmax whether McDaniel, 50, should step down after three straight election cycles of Republican underperformance.
“I think she knows that, I think she understands that,” Trump responded. “As far as me, as far as I’m concerned … almost 100% of the Republicans I endorse win. In the midterms, out of 253 endorsements, I won 222 races.”
McDaniel has faced calls to resign from some of Trump’s fiercest supporters, including biotech entrepreneur and former 2024 GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
Trump privately backed McDaniel’s bid for a fourth two-year term last year, despite widespread grumbling over her stewardship after Republicans only narrowly recaptured the House and lost a Senate seat in the 2022 midterms.
In an interview with Fox News “Sunday Morning Features” this past weekend, Trump indicated that “there will probably be some changes made” soon at the RNC.
