Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who did not ultimately make a run for RNC chair, also received one vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The last three elections have proven disappointing for Republicans: The party lost the House in 2018, lost the Senate and presidency in 2020 and only gained a thin majority in the House in 2022. Many in the party cited last November\u2019s midterms as a reason to elect fresh blood, as McDaniel oversaw the RNC through the last three elections.<\/p>\n<p>McDaniel, in brief remarks, told RNC committee members that she heard the concerns from those who voiced criticism in the wake of the November elections while also projecting unity within the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need all of us. We heard you, grassroots. We know. We heard Harmeet, we heard Mike Lindell. But with us united and all of us going together, the Democrats are going to hear us in 2024 when we take back the White House and the Senate,\u201d she said to applause in the room.<\/p>\n<p>While the incumbent was predicted to win, the race was another example of intraparty tensions. <\/p>\n<p>Some top Republicans, like former President Trump and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), avoided weighing in the race. But others waded in, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who told Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative Turning Point USA,\u00a0in an interview aired Thursday,\u00a0\u201cI think we need to get some new blood in the RNC.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI like what Harmeet Dhillon has said about getting the RNC out of D.C. Why would you want to have your headquarters in the most Democrat city in America? It\u2019s more Democrat than San Francisco is,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dhillon\u2019s campaign website offered the names of only 29 state chairs and RNC committee members endorsing her, noting it was a \u201cpartial list.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,\u00a0more than 150 Republican donors endorsed McDaniel in the leadership race, and some lawmakers, like Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), also backed the incumbent.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201c.@GOPChairwoman\u00a0has played a major role in helping turn Florida red and fighting for conservative values across the country,\u201d Scott tweeted. \u201cThank you Ronna for all you\u2019ve done to help elect strong Republicans in the Sunshine state!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McDaniel has defended her tenure in the RNC, arguing that she was not responsible for the way Republicans performed in the November midterms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not the coach. I don\u2019t pick the players, the voters do. I don\u2019t call the plays, the candidates pick their own plays,\u201d she told Semafor in an interview published earlier this month.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI mean, we defied history in 2018, picking up three Senate seats in a midterm year. We picked up 15 seats in 2020 in the House, which was unprecedented, and then this year, winning back the House,\u201d she also noted at the time.<\/p>\n<p>But Dhillon and some members of the party remained unconvinced, arguing that the GOP could have had better election cycles. The RNC election follows a contentious House Speaker race, which saw a group of Republicans splitting from the rest of the caucus before electing Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) in the 15th vote. <\/p>\n<p>Trump cheered on McDaniel\u2019s win in a post on his Truth <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social<\/a>, writing, \u201cCongratulations to Ronna McDaniel on her big WIN as RNC CHAIR.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
