President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, is poised to implement a major shakeup at the Republican National Committee if she successfully becomes the co-chair.
Via Fox News, she has stated that “every penny” of RNC fundraising will go to making sure Donald Trump is reelected as president once again.
She told Newsmax, “The RNC needs to be the leanest, most lethal political fighting machine we’ve ever seen in American history. That is the goal over the next nine-and-a-half months. If I am elected to this position, I can assure you, there will not be any more $70,000 – or whatever exorbitant amount of money it was – spent on flowers.”
On Monday, President Trump announced his endorsed leadership picks for the RNC, which included North Carolina Republican Chairman Michael Whatley for RNC chair, Lara Trump for co-chair, and Trump Senior Advisor Chris LaCavita for Chief Operating Officer.
Of his daughter-in-law, the president stated, “Lara is an extremely talented communicator and is dedicated to all that MAGA stands for. She has told me she wants to accept this challenge and would be GREAT!”
For Trump, such a slate of America First warriors in leadership positions at the RNC would likely revitalize voters’ support and confidence in the establishment, which has waned to desperate lows under the leadership of current Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
In fact, The Washington Times recently reported that the RNC was considering opening a line of credit this year due to tepid fundraising and an alleged $15 million deficit as Republican voters have refused to support the establishment machine in the wake of 2020.
In her comments to Newsmax, Lara Trump vowed, “Every single penny will go to the No. 1 and the only job of the RNC – that is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States and saving this country.”
