At the Republican Party’s winter meeting in Jacksonville, Fla, Ronna McDaniel was reelected chair of the party. She was unopposed. Under normal circumstances, the head of the RNC would be blamed for the loss of the presidential election and two Georgia Senate runoffs. But in this case, there is strong party support for McDaniel.
Many Republicans feel that COVID-19 brought chaos to the elections, and that not enough fraud was proven that it would have changed the outcome.
“Being chair of the Republican National Committee has been an honor of the lifetime, and I’m so honored to be re-elected. We have a lot of work to do heading into 2022 and I’m ready to make sure Republicans up and down the ballot have the resources they need to win!” she wrote.
Co-chair Tommy Hicks was also re-elected.
Representing Alaska at the four-day meeting at Amelia Island was Alaska Republican National Committeewoman Cynthia Henry of Fairbanks and party Finance Chairman Craig Campbell of Anchorage.
One item of discussion at the end of the meeting was the sudden statement by Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who said unless President Donald Trump resigned she doesn’t know if she has a future in the Republican Party.
