DeSantis gets into RNC race, backing Dhillon

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is backing California attorney and former Trump campaign adviser Harmeet Dhillon in her bid to take the Republican National Committee chairmanship away from Ronna McDaniel, saying in an interview on Thursday, “I think we need a change.”

“I think we need to get some new blood in the RNC,” DeSantis told Charlie Kirk, the founder of conservative Turning Point USA, on Florida’s Voice.

“I 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’s more Democrat than San Francisco is,” he continued, referencing a letter that Dhillon sent to RNC members about looking into regional offices while keeping their headquarters in Washington.

The Florida governor, who is considering a 2024 presidential bid, lamented the performance of Republicans in the last three election cycles as reason for changing leadership at the RNC.

To kiss drumpf’s ass. And now they are all stabbing her in the back lol.

Too bad. She was a horrible leader, so I had hoped she would stick around.

located in the nation's capital, where you had access to all your elected federal office-holders and their staffs, and many state officials who frequently came there to do business and also most lobbying and fund-raising groups? Why, why, why?


Idiot.
