Ronna McDaniel has so far maintained support from dozens of RNC members, despite a barrage of negative messaging from leading conservative figures. | Laurence Kesterson/AP PhotoPHOENIX — A straw poll of attendees at one of the nation’s largest gatherings of conservative activists showed overwhelming opposition to Ronna McDaniel continuing as chair of the Republican National Committee.
“I’m here to offer this party an alternative. I’m here to redefine what this party sees as victory. It means winning elections,” Dhillon said as she addressed a thinned-out conference Tuesday, in one of its final sessions. “It doesn’t mean turning out more voters. It doesn’t mean outreach. It doesn’t mean the number of phone calls you try to make but didn’t connect.”
Behind Dhillon, with 31 percent, was Mike Lindell, a right-wing commentator and top proponent of former President Donald Trump’s disproven stolen election claims. Throughout the weekend, conference-goers lined up to have their photos taken with the “MyPillow” CEO. Both Dhillon and Lindell walked onto the stage to pyrotechnics and standing ovations when they addressed the crowd.
“Support for the chairwoman has only grown since her announcement, and she looks forward to speaking with each and every member to discuss how the party can continue building upon our investments and make the necessary improvements to compete and win in 2024,” said Emma Vaughn, McDaniel’s reelection spokesperson.
Sixty-five percent of attendees said they strongly disapproved of McDaniel’s job as chair. A whopping 93 percent said members of the RNC “should listen to the grassroots” when deciding who to vote for as chair.
