Donald Trump cemented his grip on the Republican National Committee on Friday after his daughter-in-law and another ally assumed top leadership posts amid a debate among members over whether the organization should help pay his legal bills.
RNC members meeting in Houston voted to appoint North Carolina Republican Party head Michael Whatley and Lara Trump as chair and co-chair of the organization, which will play a key role in marshaling voters and funds for the Nov. 5 general election.
The move comes after Trump swept the Super Tuesday primary contests, prompting Nikki Haley to drop out of the Republican race and all but assuring the former U.S. president will be the nominee and face off against President Joe Biden, a Democrat.
“The goal on November 5th is to win, and as my father-in-law says ‘bigly’,” Lara Trump said, promising that “every single penny of every dollar raised” would go toward the goal of winning the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate for Republicans.
Reminds me of Hillary Clinton. She installed allies throughout the Democratic party to ensure that she got the nomination. Then had a disastrous run and screwed up the financing for other candidates.
Hopefully we’ll see another disaster for the Republican party. Who was it that said that Trump would destroy the Republican party if allowed in?
Lindsey Graham, who went on to say that they would deserve it. He has, of course, knelt and kissed the ring ling since.
Iirc, Lindsey Graham. Republican voters tend to fall in line, whereas people voting Democrat do have those who vote their minds.
