Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he won’t wade into the battle over who will lead the Republican National Committee, a race that is already dividing the party.
Ronna McDaniel is vying for another term as the chairwoman of the committee, but she is facing a challenge from Harmeet Dhillon, the former vice chair of the California Republican Party, and Mike Lindell, the chief executive officer of MyPillow.
“I think they’ll be able to figure it out for themselves,” McConnell said to reporters on Monday, declining to endorse McDaniel for another term.The RNC election will be held on Friday by secret ballot. Former President Donald Trump has not made an endorsement, but insiders say he is advocating behind the scenes for McDaniel. Trump chose McDaniel to lead the committee shortly after his 2016 victory.
McDaniel’s allies tout her ability to unite various factions within the GOP, recruit new voters into the party, and fundraise.
