Agrowing number of Republican Party officials are frustrated with GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel following Tuesday's midterm elections and want her to resign, according to Republican sources familiar with the situation.
"People are upset and want to replace Ronna," said one veteran Republican National Committee official. "They're calling for her resignation but not publicly. [RNC] members are calling for accountability as they should."
The official noted that, even before the 2022 midterms, Democrats gained control of the House in 2018 and then did the same in 2020 for both the White House and the Senate — including a runoff election in Georgia. McDaniel has been chairing the RNC since 2017.
Leading into Election Day this week, polling had indicated for months that Republicans would enjoy a landslide, red wave victory. However, Republican hopes for such a victory faded Tuesday night as Democrats performed better in House races than expected and won some key Senate and gubernatorial seats considered vulnerable.
As the vote count currently stands, neither party has secured a majority in the House or Senate, with more ballots to be tallied and more states to be decided. Republicans are leading and still likely to win control of the House, but by a much smaller margin than forecast. As for the Senate, it's anyone's guess, but any majority will be razor thin.
Still, McDaniel argued the results amounted to a big win for the GOP.
"I think the night turned out great," she said on Fox News after the election. "We are retiring [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi. There was a wave that happened last night, and we are waving goodbye to Speaker Pelosi. And we are going to have a Republican majority in the House, which also means we're going to be able to stop this disastrous Biden agenda that's hurting..."

She’s clearly out of her depth. Whoever named her to that post should have known that.
Dump that dumb RINO biotchhhhhhh!!
I agree, but you are comparing apples to oranges.
In the last eight presidential elections, the GOP has scored zero Popular Vote pluralities, and just one majority, 51% by GWB in 2004.
As I write this, there are no GOP candidates who can win a plurality or majority of the Popular Vote in 2024.
The entire GOPe ‘leadership’ needs to resign their seats. Just GTFO!
Make Kari Lake head of RNC after they steal her election!
She lost, Jim.
Just kill the GOP and put it out of its, and our misery.
True. Our state GOP Chair needs to go too. Even though he’s a Hillsdale College graduate and a Hell of a nice guy, he’s a terrible leader that needs to go away.
Like all RINOs, she will where herself out to the dems,suck up to bumbling Biden.
Zheeze!
Good idea
Top RINOs will quash that though.
Uniparty rules!
Trump is 1-3 in national elections, with the streak being 3 losses. He is a master at ego inflating mass rallies, and a disaster at the nuts and bolts of raising money for others, putting together grass roots get out the vote operations, or effectively combating vote fraud.
Trump has no learning curve on these matters. If anything he has dropped below the X axis. Crying 'Do Election over again!' for Masters in Arizona. Freepers mocked the Democrats calling for a 'do over' in Miami during the 2000 Bush/Gore dispute, and for good reason.
If noting those things, and stating that I don't want to put the fate of our country on the chance Trump go 2-3, rather than 1-4, makes me a Never-Trumper in your eyes, well, I expect I will be in good company.
Yet we're being told that he's learned his lesson and he'll do better next time despite any evidence that he's actually learned anything (and a great deal of evidence that he hasn't).
You do realize most of these "Never Trumpers" on FR supported him wholeheartedly and enthusiastically twice and now have simply grown tired of losing elections, three in a row, and Trump's increasingly childish behavior towards good people.
many are accounts with very old signup dates but I never heard of them in the 20+ years I’ve been here. Are they somehow able to create new accounts with an old signup date? As a database guy I say it would be very easy, but someone inside has to do it.
GET RID OF ROMNEY MCDANIEL STAT.
Her replacement won’t be any better, the GOP is a lost cause.
Don’t be silly. The Democrats love having her in control.
Then dump McCarthy, replace him with Elise Stefanik.
He used to be better at hiding it. Now, he’s just an obvious game player. Power over party, doncha know.
