Have not seen a sitting party chair lose 55 votes in that kind of sitting before. i have also not seen a sitting party chair try to get a fourth term after losing in her previous three terms. you can draw the connection to the kevin mccarthy fight. that s a saga that is only just beginning. the republican party is in a phase of transition and internal tension and they are going to hash out what they really stand for and who s really in charge going into 2024. i think very, very notably, this last week, you were hearing ron desantis out publicly questioning whether rana mcdaniel is really a serious and credible independent stueward o the party. i think we need a change. i think we need to get some new blood in the rnc. i like what harmit dylan has said about getting the rnc out of d.c. i think it s going to be very difficult to energize people to want to give money, to want to volunteer their time with the rnc if they don t see a change in direction. what do you make of that, ....
Not really a grassroots focus group, they backed her in the face of that challenge. but there was universal fear at that event, that that was going to lead to kind of an outsider backlash. there was a universal fear at that event that going ahead in the primary, that they could be kind of making it easier for candidates, maybe not donald trump, but other candidates, to make the case that the republican party is not doing enough to infuse new blood. well, this infusion of new blood debate is just a continuation of something that the republicans have been dealing with. on capitol hill, they tried to get rid of kevin mccarthy, tried to get rid of mitch mcconnell, none of that worked. the republican party seems to be sticking with what they ve been doing all along. well, look, i think to astead s point, i think this is the beginning of a process of challenge and trial for rana mcdaniel, not the end of that process. the fact that she got re-elected against this, you know, credible but s ....
When republicans underdelivered in the midterms, there was a fresh round of talk about a new direction, new leaders, whether you break away for trump or not, there was definitely an expectation that the rnc, with no incumbent president, might want to just rethink things. well, tonight we have an update on that. a top trump ally and a coup enabler, rana mcdaniel, re-elected today to run the rnc again. now, the january 6th committee had found that she was the one who actually worked directly with some of the people that congress has now recommended for indictment, like john eastman, to work on that plot, with the president s lawyer and the president in that suit. of course, it was also the rnc that tried to back up what is now a convicted sedition plot as, quote, legitimate political ....
Answers. lindsey graham, saying whatever lindsey graham believes at the time. when you see these things happen in realtime, you realize that there s nobody truly standing up and calling donald trump what he is. but i speak for most democrats when we say rana mcdaniel and donald trump, 2024. this has been the most unsuccessful duo of individuals who led a major party in american history. i don t think you ve seen anyone since 2017 not win a singular cycle. that s failure. that s not donald trump s brand of winning, that s absolute, abject failure. but this isn t the first time. candidate quality is not anything new. anderson, you remember back to 2010, 2012, where you had murdoch, you had engle, you had christine o donnell, you had todd akin, you had individuals who just did not meet the character test or the quality of candidate necessary to win these seats. and you see that replicated ....
Too. remember people were saying that very notion, and the idea the operation you call, many would just call voting, the idea of being able to cure absentee ballots. listen to what was happening on fox on this issue, rana mcdaniel to kellyanne conway and beyond. what we do need is our voters need to vote early. many in 2020 saying, don t vote by mail, don t vote early. we have to stop that. if you wait just to election day, it s almost you re running a race where you re starting 30 yards behind. you don t know if you have enough time to catch. the last race we just won, we won by less than 600 votes. it is that close. you want to bank as many votes as you can. republicans in the past, we had an advantage because we would vote early. we would vote by mail. we put that away. we need to not just compete for votes, for ballots. if we don t bank ballots early, we re going to keep we didn t. ....
