A recent Trafalgar and Convention of States Action poll of 1,072 potential Republican voters found that 86 percent of respondents support attorney Harmeet Dhillon as the new Republican National Committee Chairperson.
On Twitter Charlie Kirk wrote, "A recent poll of over 1,000 Republican voters found that 86% would support Harmeet Dhillon as the new RNC Chair over Ronna McDaniel. The era of a status quo Republican Party is over whether those clinging onto power realize it yet or not."
Current RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, who was elected in 2017 and is running for her fourth term, received 14 percent support.
President of Convention of States Mark Meckler said in a release via their website, "The era of the establishment is over. The grassroots are pushing back and making their voices heard. And—contrary to what Ronna McDaniel has stated publicly—the leadership of the RNC should ultimately reflect the will of the Republican voter and move Republicans forward at the ballot box."
After the November midterm elections proved disappointing for the GOP, many in the party who were hoping for a "Red Wave'' have called for new leadership at the RNC. Dhillon and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell have both announced challenges to McDaniel and Lee Zeldin, former New York Republican candidate for governor, has said he could potentially run.
Dhillon, currently an RNC committeewoman and leader of the Republican National Lawyers Association, said in a statement, "After three successive terms of underwhelming results at the polls for the GOP, all the while with leaders congratulating ourselves for outstanding performance, I feel that we owe it to our voters to have a serious debate about the leadership of the party and what we must change to actually win in 2024."
A spokesperson for McDaniel's reelection campaign, Emma Vaughn, told the Daily Caller News Foundation, "Members of the 168 rallied around the Chairwoman because of her unprecedented investments in the grassroots, election integrity, and minority communities, and for taking on Big Tech and the biased Commission on Presidential Debates."
"Member support for the Chairwoman has grown since her announcement and she will continue speaking with each and every member about how the party can continue building upon our investments and make the necessary improvements to compete and win in 2024," Vaughn added.
The RNC chairmanship is set to be decided at the group's annual winter meeting, where the committee's 168 members will meet in Dana Point, California in late January.
The poll was conducted from January 9 through 11 and sampled both primary election GOP voters and voters who were registered as Republican. The poll has a 2.9 percent margin of error.
Harmeet vs Ronna — reminds me of a George Carlin skit
I have no idea who that person is but if you screw up like Ronna you should lose your job.
McDaniel is a disaster
What is the name of the website where we can email people with our displeasure with Rona “Carnie Wilson” McDaniel?
But the voting party critters in this case are very different animals. Still, fingers crossed.
Hyper/faux MAGA may be trying to surreptitiously save Ms. Romney by advancing the Pillow Guy again here at the final hour now.
Republican voters don’t elect her and state GOP committee’s could care less about Republican voters.
👍 Down Goes Romney!
The pillow guy would be in over his head...not what’s needed. He should stick to shilling pillows....anything else aint in his wheel house.
Anyone is better than the career types. Mike Lindell would be great.
Lindale yes. He puts everything on the line for solid principles. The other two don’t even sound appealing… they sound me llike perversity hires.
“Mike Lindell would be great.”
I agree.
Harmeet worked closely with Kari Lake in AZ, and she also founded “Lawyers for Trump” to organize lawyers to contest 2020. She is 10 thousand times more America First than Ronna will ever be. Ronna has to go.
In 4 or 5 years maybe we’ll know whose the RNC chair.
By then they’ll have to be called sofa or something.
I would support Sidney Powell’s kraken over that lunatic.
I like Mike for his sincerity and traditional conservative values, but Mike is too undisciplined, needlessly bombastic and heavily focused on the past. Some of the same problems as Donald Trump.
He is also heavily invested in conspiracies.
This approach worked well for him while selling pillows.
It may not work as well when selling policy.
‘What is the name of the website where we can email people with our displeasure with Rona “Carnie Wilson” McDaniel?’
Carnie Wilson could run the GOP more competently than Mittens’ niece. Hell, Carnie’s dad Brian, the Beach Boys’ eccentric founder, could run the GOP more competently than McDaniel.
13 ballots to go. Contact CSPAN for live coverage.
Unfortunately, all the votes at the upcoming RNC con flap are state party establishment types who will vote for Romney McDaniel.
Remember that and that these people don’t give a damn about you when you get deluged by those RNC pleas for money.

Raised in Smithfield, NC.
Graduated HS at 16 attended Dartmouth and UVA Law.
Serves on the Republican National Committee.

Dhillon seems to have been all over the map politically. Seems a whisper campaign has been started about her being Sikh so someone must be afraid of her.
