The Republican National Committee (RNC) reelected Ronna McDaniel as chairwoman on Friday, granting her a fourth two-year term. McDaniel, who was appointed to the role by former President Donald Trump, won the three-way race with 111 votes to Harmeet Dhillon’s 51 and Mike Lindell’s 4.
The vote took place in Dana Point, California, where the RNC was holding its winter meetings. To win the election, McDaniel needed at least 85 votes.
McDaniel has served as RNC chairwoman since 2017, when she was appointed by Trump. She previously served as chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party.
McDaniel’s reelection comes after three consecutive bad elections for the Republican Party. However, she was able to fend off a strong challenge from Dhillon and Lindell, and convince enough RNC members that the losses were not her fault.
The RNC’s decision to reelect McDaniel as chairwoman will ensure continuity in the party’s operations through the next presidential election and the congressional elections in 2024.
