America's deeply divided Republican Party voted Friday to keep its Donald Trump-backed national committee chair in place, in an election seen as a test of the former president's sway.
The GOP has been in disarray since a predicted "red wave" failed to materialize in November elections, with the party eking out only a slim majority in the House, and failing to wrest control of the Senate from the Democrats.

Trump backed no one. This is piss poor agenda-driven “journalism”. Praising the winner is simple common sense. You don’t want to needlessly alienate a person you will have to work with potentially.
“ Trump backed no one”
I thought he said he would be fine with either McDaniel or Dhillon. That’s backing both, you could say. I’m not sure why people are so defensive. If Trump thinks they’re both good, I’ll trust Trump
“WAS” is the operative word.
He did not endorse her this time—he stayed out of race.
Mitch McConnell - Senate Republican Leader
Kevin McCarthy - Speaker of the House
Ronna Romney McDaniel - RNC Chairman
Hahahahahahahaha
Low IQ posters think that Trump endorsed McDaniel.
In actuality Trump was fine with 3 candidates in the race.
But Low IQ posters are not capable of going deeper than zero level.
And the GOP fizzled in 2022 November NOT because McDaniel was RNC chair. It was skillful exploitation by democrats about the abortion issue is why young people voted in larger numbers than usual. Senator Linda Graham helped democrats by proposing a bill which would ban ALL abortions after X number of weeks of pregnancy. That caused more young women to come out of the woodwork and vore democrat.
“I thought he said he would be fine with either McDaniel or Dhillon.”
Good God man. If you say you’re fine with either candidate then by definition you’re not BACKING anyone.
Because the candidates you favor are incapable of winning elections.
The Republic can not trust the GOP,
except to steal, to lie, to backstab,
and to support child rape and trafficking.
It IS what the GOP does best.
As I suspected, the RNC really wants to give the House back in 2024. it is simply too hard to be in charge. Lots easier to be sniping from the back bench.
However to look on the bright side, this should make it easier to to rid their party of those icky MAGA America First election deniers.
Y’all have fun, now hear.
This is one reason: How RNC Policy Lost a Winnable House Seat
The RNC is responsible for two technology platforms that it makes available to state parties and campaigns: voter data, which is managed by their designated vendor, Data Trust, and online fundraising, which is managed by another designated vendor, WinRed.
It became clear to me that the primary goal of Data Trust and WinRed isn’t to help Republicans at all but to enrich RNC-connected consultants.
The RNC’s designated door-to-door app, Campaign Sidekick, is also a failure.
The RNC’s designated payment processor, WinRed, is a for-profit company that built its platform on top of another for-profit payment processor, Stripe. All of that profit means high fees on campaign donations of nearly 4 percent.
It gets worse. Stripe is a woke tech firm based in San Francisco. In the 2022 election cycle, of the $392,000 that Stripe employees donated to federal candidates and PACs, 98 percent went to Democrats while just 2 percent went to Republicans.
The danger of building the party’s fundraising platform on a payment processor openly hostile to us was made abundantly clear when Stripe shut down President Trump’s WinRed account, cutting off his ability to raise money to fight his legal battles in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Stripe shut down Trump’s WinRed account because, according to the firm, he was “inciting violence” with his rhetoric. But according to leftists like the employees who run Stripe, all Republican policies incite violence against homosexuals, minorities, immigrants, women, etc., thus no Republican is safe from having his or her finances cut off with no notice from these left-wing Big Tech extremists.
And what did the RNC do in response to their own payment processor shutting down President Trump’s account?
Absolutely nothing. Stripe remains in place under WinRed, growing ever richer with each Republican donation and using that money to help fund Democrats.
If you think that taking more than twice the standard card processing fee was excessive, hold on to your hat.
An average of 90 percent of most contributions prompted by emails and texts that are processed by WinRed goes not to the campaign the donor believes they are supporting but instead to fundraising consultants. This “RevShare” mechanism is built into WinRed and delivers the consultant’s cut instantly without the donor ever knowing—on top of the 4 percent that WinRed collects.
When I raised these issues to the current chairman, Ronna McDaniel, at the RNC winter meeting two years ago, she responded by ignoring me and telling a closed-door meeting of the RNC members that everything was fine.
"You show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser"--"Chief" Wallace Newman, USC Trojan Rose Bowl hero and Richard Nixon's football coach.
Good losers like McCain, McConnell and McDaniel are losers.
Too bad Dhillon didn’t win because she fights Democrats by using Democrat election tactics against them. The proof was Republican House wins in California that would have gone Democrat otherwise.
Yes, Trump joined the swamp and they elected her.
You have not been paying attention.
Yes, it is. He hand picked her for personal loyalty to him.
WinRed is an awful scam company. Took me months to rid them of automated donations. One and done turned into six and I finally closed that account and canceled the card.
That is entirely misleading. He put her in the role. Because people rebelled against his endorsement of McCarthy, he thought it better not to push on it. But everyone knew who his pick was. To say otherwise, is complete Bidenish.
B.S. He didn’t push, because of what happened to McCarthy, but everybody knows she is his.
He job isn’t to get Republicans elected, it’s to carry out Trump’s orders.
