“Harmeet is a lawyer for me you know,” Trump said when asked about the two candidates. “Harmeet is my lawyer.”
When asked whether that means he favors her or McDaniel—the current chair whom Trump selected after his 2016 White House victory and backed again in her subsequent reelection as chair—he declined to pick a specific candidate.
“I think they’re both good,” Trump said. “I like them both. . . . .
The race between McDaniel and Dhillon has been heating up in recent weeks, and Trump’s decision to stay neutral could have major implications for or against either candidate. The ultimate winner will be decided in late January by a vote of the 168 RNC members. Membership in the RNC’s powerful 168 includes state and territory party chairs and the national committeeman and committeewoman from each state and territory. Dhillon, as a member of the 168, is a voting member in this election.
Dhillon has emerged as the main challenger to McDaniel after outgoing Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY)—who ran a much-stronger-than-expected gubernatorial race in New York this year, helping carry several down-ticket and especially U.S. House candidates to victory—bowed out after considering a challenge. MyPillow’s Mike Lindell has announced a campaign of his own.
Spending decisions at the RNC have become a focus of the race as of late, in particular, with Dhillon and her allies bashing McDaniel’s choices on how to use party committee money. McDaniel’s allies have fired back, defending the incumbent chairwoman, arguing that the things Dhillon has highlighted were legitimate expenses.

Author appears to be taking the side of McRomney with the use of loaded language.
Romney is DOA in my book. He is drifting further left with each passing day.
“MyPillow’s Mike Lindell has announced a campaign of his own.”
GO AWAY, AZZHOLE!
Trump likes to push his enemies out into the spotlight. Redstate would never had done that analysis on the RNC’s spending had it not been for Trump supporting her early on. Now donors are pissed at the RNC and I bet their fundraising will take a crap in 2024.
No, he can stay. Its you anti-MAGAs that need to go.
I love Trump but he can be stupid with personnel picks and endorsements.
And who says the guy isn't a politician!
Trump damns Harmeet with faint praise.
That’s what it sounds like to me.
That apple didn’t fall far from that tree. Romney/McDaniel is scum. Period.
Trump is crazy...beginning to think all his dogs are not barking..
Punt
Oh, brother…
McDaniel has been overseeing loss after loss. She’s done nothing to combat early voting, harvesting, not helping good candidates , such as AZ, not fighting with our lawyers as the RATS continue to steal. And now Trump supports her, what the hell has he doing? Designing action cards?
Trump is about to be hauled up on charges for a show trial. At this point he needs all the friends he can get. It doesn’t matter who the head of the RNC is. Trump needs them on his side.
Breitbart has been moving decidedly to the left recently. We take their “reporting” with a grain of salt.
I think Lindell would be the most effective of the three. He’s super annoying, but I bet he wouldn’t tolerate this nonsense.
Harmeet has been a member of the RNC Board for years. If she didn’t know what was going on, probably she should have.
In any case, Ronna needs to go. Email addresses for every state’s voters can be found at www.HireHarmeet.com. Flood them with no-Ronna emails.
BOTH are swamp creatures.
How is what he said a stupid personnel pick? He said he liked them both.
