Lara Trump is wrapping up her first week as co-chair of the Republican National Committee by laser-focusing on registering new voters and turning the RNC into a political fighting machine for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
She recently told podcast host Benny Johnson that Republicans will begin working to register voters at events like UFC fights and country music concerts.
“We are going to be doing some geo-targeting, and anyone who knows what that is, knows exactly what you’re talking about is how we’re going to have to win this thing,” she shared.
Trump explained, “Anywhere where people are gathered, and we know the vast majority of them are going to vote Republican, we’ve got to capitalize on that. We’ve got to have ballot harvesters there if it is legally possible to do so, we have to make sure that we know who those people are.”
As reported by RSBN, the first week of the new Trump-allied leadership team at the RNC kicked a reported 60 staffers to the curb on Monday alone, trimming unneeded operational fat and pivoting toward hiring bulldogs who will fight for Trump in 2024.
One of the most notable hires in this first week has been former attorney for President Donald J. Trump Christina Bobb, who joined the RNC as a special counsel for election integrity.
Lara Trump, who co-chairs alongside new RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, also told Benny Johnson this week that there would be a “seamless merger of the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.”
She continued, “You cannot win a presidential election without the aid of the RNC…this is the third time that we as a family, that my father-in-law, the Trump campaign, has done this now. You know, we’ve learned a thing or two.”
Trump said that they had already seen “a whole host of people from the Trump campaign shift over” to the RNC.
“We have to unite,” she said. “It’s a bit of a metaphor, in some ways, for the party as a whole.”
