Ronna McDaniel and Harmeet Dhillon are both vying to lead the Republican National Committee. And despite McDaniel seeming to have it locked up, it may actually be a race.Ronna McDaniel says she has commitments from more than 100 of the 168 Republican National Committee members who will decide whether shes re-elected as RNC chair. And yet, a week before the election, no ones quite sure that the race will be that simplenot even McDaniel herself.
The normally quiet, bureaucratic process of choosing a leader of the RNC has become a proxy battle for perhaps not the soul of the Republican Party, but at least a key appendage. In a matter of days, RNC members will flock to a scenic resort in Southern California to cast their ballotsin the first contested race for RNC chair since 2011and help decide the direction of the GOP.
At stake isnt so much whether Republicans should turn the page from Donald Trump. Both McDaniel and her primary challenger, Harmeet Dhillon, are diehard Trump fans. Whats more at stake is whether the GOP will make any changes after disappointing performances in the last three elections.
The battle between McDaniel and Dhillon is largely non-ideological and increasingly personal, with Dhillon drawing both ultra-MAGA supporters and those who want a change at the top for the sake of a change at the top.
