RNC treasurer announces bid to replace Lara Trump as co-chair
NBC News ^ | Dec 2024 | Matt Dixon

Republican National Committee Treasurer KC Crosbie told fellow members Sunday night that she is running for RNC co-chair to replace Lara Trump, who said Sunday night she is stepping down from that post.

“This position demands leadership, communication, and the ability to unify our diverse membership while supporting President Trump and his Administration’s bold initiative to “Make America Great Again,” Crosbie, who is also the RNC national committeewoman from Kentucky, wrote in an email to RNC members, which was obtained by NBC News. “I am committed to fulfilling the responsibilities of RNC Co-Chair with the same dedication I have brought to the role of Treasurer.”

The RNC co-chair role got significant attention during the 2024 election after President-elect Donald Trump helped install his daughter-in-law to the post as part of his takeover of the party infrastructure. Trump-backed RNC Chair Michael Whatley has already agreed to remain in that post.

“At the RNC, we had three distinct goals: 1) surpass all fundraising records 2) build the largest army of lawyers and poll watchers to ensure election integrity and, 3) turn out millions of Americans and low propensity voters during early voting. We accomplished all three,” Lara Trump wrote Sunday night in a post on X announcing she was leaving the post.

Crosbie’s email to RNC members came hours later. She highlighted the RNC’s fundraising numbers during her tenure as treasurer, as well as its internal financial controls.

“By implementing best practices and reinforcing internal controls, the RNC earned clean audits from our external auditors, while further strengthening the confidence of both grassroots supporters and major donors,” she wrote.

It’s unlikely anyone would be able to secure enough support to replace Lara Trump without the explicit approval of Donald Trump or his team.

This house speaker vote debacle means RNC really needs good leadership moving forward. It's being completely neglected right now and/or the main hidden tool by which the GOP-Establishment cements their toxic grip. Sick and tired of it.

Instinctually don't care for who has stepped forward so far either.

We need MAGA folks, for RNC!

Scott Pressler should announce, too! Not that the RINOs on the RNC committee would allow that.

Always follow the money. It is the mother’s milk of politics. KC Crosbie, given that she is the treasurer of the RNC, should have a very good understanding of the GOP money flows.

I was just going to post that Pressler should announce. He deserves it after all the work he’s done.

Diverse? Isn’t that a DemonRAT code word for woke?

I read this as DeSantis is naming Lara Trump to replace Rubio.

Trump won due to a “diverse” coalition. And Lara capitalized on that too. MAGA transcended race and made being a political misfit cool. I was always impressed with the array of grassroots supporters she was at events and photos with. We can’t keep winning using the same GOP loser playbook over and over and I don’t see this KC figure as a winner.

Has Pressler said anything about his intent to run? I don’t have social media, which someone would reach him. I’m sure if one of you does, he may get the memo!

Who is this person? After decades of the likes of Michael Steele and Ronna McDaniel, any RNC chair going forward must be America First. If not, they can go pound sand the next time they want to spam me for donations.
