The race for RNC chair is heating up as Ronna McDaniel appears to be in real danger of losing her spot.

Mitt Romney’s niece remains insistent on ducking the blame for the midterm election debacle in which the backlash against deeply unpopular President Joe Biden and his ruinous policies were widely predicted to bring a “red wave” that would sweep the Democratic party out of power only to fail to materialize with the GOP only managing to eke out a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives.

 RNC Member Blasts Ronna McDaniel: 'The Current Leadership Is Incapable of Leading This Party to Anything But Failure'  "The race for RNC chair is heating up as Ronna McDaniel appears to be in real danger of losing her spot.

"McDaniel has presided over three straight elections where Republicans have either dramatically underperformed or gotten shellacked. Further, she’s instituted some of the worst, most predatory fundraising tactics I’ve ever seen, angering a base that is sick of losing and sick of being taken advantage of.

"My colleague, Jennifer Van Laar, recently went through the RNC’s finances and exposed a boatload of questionable expenditures, including millions in unexplained gifts. Instead of owning the problems, McDaniel and her cronies lashed out, trashing RedState as a “blog” and calling the reporting false. Of course, it was not false, and no evidence was provided to show that.

"Now, RedState has obtained an email from an RNC member (to other RNC members) blasting McDaniel, her lies about our reporting, and noting the lack of grassroots support for the current regime." . . .

What we are seeing right now at the RNC is a bunch of people who don’t want the gravy train to end. They’ve enriched themselves and enjoyed the perks while delivering none of the victories required to earn the benefit of the doubt. McDaniel is chief among that group. Her refusal to take any responsibility for her failures while gaslighting conservatives about how badly the 2022 election went disqualify her from keeping her position.

 Morning Greatness: McDaniel Faces Campaign From Right in Race for RNC Chair  . . ."But in the past two years, Hoffman has stopped his donations to the committee, while continuing to give funds to candidates and other Republican groups. Earlier this month, he copied members on a letter calling on McDaniel to resign, suggesting she “gracefully exit stage left” before the January leadership election.

"Don Huffines, a Republican donor in Texas who also stopped giving to the RNC years ago, called the committee “a nest of potential corruption, with consultants milking donors.” He said Friday he will consider donating to the organization if Dhillon takes over.

"“It’s one thing to raise money — and that’s what they do, is raise a lot of money,” Huffines said. “It’s another thing to deploy it effectively, and they don’t do that well.”
