Exclusive — ‘New Dawn Here at the RNC’: Newly Elected Chair Michael Whatley, Co-Chair Lara Trump Detail Plan to ‘Win in November’
Matthew Boyle 8 Mar 2024 Washington, DC
Newly-elected Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Michael Whatley and co-chairwoman Lara Trump, in their first joint interview since locking down the positions on Friday, explained to Breitbart News that a “new dawn” has set in at the GOP’s main party committee and everything is about winning in November.
Whatley and Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump and wife of Trump’s son, Eric Trump, were elected on Friday by members of the RNC as the new chair and co-chair of the RNC. They replace now former chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and were supported by the former president, who just locked down the GOP presidential nomination this week with blowout victories on Super Tuesday. Whatley and Trump sat for their first exclusive joint interview with Breitbart News moments after they won the positions at the RNC meetings in Houston, and they told Breitbart News the focus from the party is now exclusively on winning in November.
“This year, the next eight months, are all about making sure that we win in November,” Whatley said. “Everything we do is going to be focused on winning. We are going to have to get out the vote and we are going to have to protect the ballot. Every dollar we raise and we spend at the RNC is going to be focused on those two missions. We are going to work very, very closely with the president’s campaign, and we’re going to make sure that we are a seamless operation. At the end of the day, the RNC was built 146 years ago with one purpose, which was to elect Republican presidents. We also know we’ve got Senate races and House races that are really truly important for us, so we are going to work up and down the country to win up and down the ballot. But the way we’re going to do that is getting out the vote and protecting the ballot.”
Lara Trump said that Whatley’s history as chairman of the North Carolina GOP has given him a background in election integrity and, combined with a renewed fundraising push she will help lead, the party is now in prime position to defeat Democrat President Joe Biden.

MSNBC host on Lara Trump takeover: ‘Now we’ve got nepo-RNC’
by Tara Suter - 03/09/24 9:21 AM ET
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace noted the recent election of former President Trump’s daughter-in-law as Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Friday.
“Now we’ve got nepo-RNC,” Wallace quipped on “Deadline: White House” Friday.
The RNC voted to make Michael Whatley, who has previously been the chair of the North Carolina GOP and Lara Trump, the wife of the former president’s son Eric, chair and co-chair of the organization respectively Friday. Ronna McDaniel, the former head of the RNC, resigned from her position as she faced strife with Trump amid the primary season.
Lara said the organization had already received a $100,000 check and noted the significance of fundraising and pushing for early voting while talking to RNC committee members on Friday.
“We’ve got to play the game a little bit differently. We have to encourage people to do things like early voting,” she said.
Whatley, a strong supporter of the former president, said that the RNC “will be focused like a laser on getting out the vote and protecting the ballot,” when talking to members of the organization.
“In less than eight months, we are going to determine the fate of not only the United States but of the entire world,” he said. “And this body, the RNC, is going to be the vanguard of a movement that will work tirelessly, every single day to elect our nominee Donald J. Trump as the 47th president of the United States, flip the Senate, expand our majority in the House of Representatives.”

Election integrity and get out the vote are great, but I'm guessing an unreasonable percentage of RNC funds are going to be dedication to Trump's campaign, to the detriment of Congressional races.

A sad day. And an incredibly asinine mistake.

Not one red penny will have come from me! Of That I will assure you.
In my job as Env. Manager and negotiating with regulatory agencies, I used to have to register as a lobbyist, and my company required me to pay my registration fees, and at my personal address. (by law in Texas at the time). I and others were also strongly suggested that we contribute to our PAC too.
That registration unleashed an avalanche of phone calls and junk mail that bordered on the intrusive. Since retirement, I have remained as stealth as possible fr a reason. No political entity will ever get another cent from me.

1. An example of a political cult of personality rarely seen in this country.
2. Hard to put a word on it.... His masses are mesmerized, frenzied, hypnotized by his schtick, in the same vein as Maximus in the arena yelling "Are you not entertained"? Except Trump yells it holding a plastic sword, and in a carnival barker tone.

@Maj. Bill Martin
Campaign donations just go into a "pot" for the political pros to spend any way and anywhere they want?
I thought that if you donated to a candidate,the donation went to THAT candidate.

This is from the RNC website @sneakypete: The RNC does not accept contributions earmarked for any candidate or other committee. Contributions are used to fund all RNC programs, and will be spent as the RNC determines within its sole discretion.

Tump, hell. That's been my modus operandi ever since 07 when they shook Duncan Hunter off in favor of McCain't. I'd boycott for sure if I wasn't already. RNC has seen nothing from me in years. And that is no small thing. Back when I was a Big 'R' Rhinestone Republican I gave them thousands.
-
Good point Fred. And I hope those who want to help, donate to specific candiates instead of the RNC. Send Tump a message.
While contributions to individual candidates are great, there are aspects to get out the vote campaigns, election integrity issues, etc. where a national-level campaign can be more helpful and much cheaper than having every individual candidate do it individually. You'd also like to see some national ad buys that just aren't going to come from just local/state races. So I have zero issue with the RNC assuming that broader role.
That being said, the RNC likely isn't all that efficient and probably wastes a lot of money. But that still is different from suddenly saying that the sole focus is going to be to elect Trump, to the detriment of everything else.
My mom is a lifelong Republicans who has written 4 figure checks to the RNC every year for decades. But she's not happy about this, and won't be writing one this year.

It's always love hate? I don't hate Trump but he sure has made sure I don't like him and that hasn't got spit to do with Biden **nononono* The only thing different that Trump has from Biden is the border, otherwise they still spend like drunken sailors and Trump, despite his denials isn't that far off from Joe on the 2nd.

Thar's right - though I would add Foreign Policy too, at which Tumpy seems more adept... Though the whip-saw effect between parties is pretty damaging, both here and abroad. What we need most anymore is regular stability... That cannot be delivered by either side.

What I hate is the fact that we have foolishly allowed government to take over so much of our lives that it can destroy any one of us at any time they choose and there isn't one damned thing we can do about it now.

Nope. I don't dance.
And I am not superior to much of anything.
But I am particular.
I consider my vote to be of worth... and therein,
should only be awarded to one of merit.
That is the purpose of endorsement.
That's what it's for.
Both candidates are destructive to America.
And the Conservative way.
NEITHER is capable of merit.
So why should I endorse either one?

It's even worse than that. The RNC has considerable control over State GOPs as well. So even if you donate to your own State's GOP, there is no guarantee that that money won't end up somewhere else.

Without deficit spending and an ever growing and intrusive federal government, they would not have power.

The DNC and their multi-billionaire handlers would lack the power to do anything without government spending. Cut federal spending back to 18% of GDP, and you will see the Democrat Party without a pot to piss in.

Not with MurderTurdle and his ilk making sure the Conservative can't be chosen.
Not with a national party doing all it can to stifle Conservative movements.

The Republicans make sure to block the way.

We voters decide who to vote for if we care enough to pay attention. Turtle, etc., couldn't stop that. But either there aren't enough of us, or the ones there are choose not to stay informed, or not enough of us vote.

Just how freaking old are you,9 years old?
EVERY nation on Earth has a government,even African tribes still running around with bones in their noses.
The fault lies with complacent citizens that demand perfection "RIGHT DAMN NOW!",and if they don't get it,they stamp their little feets and go home to sulk.
You are either a part of the system working for change,or you are a surrender monkey sitting around waiting for someone else to do it for you.
If the politicians feet are NOT held to the fire by the voters,they are free to do any damn thing they want to do.
The fact that so many grown adults just can't seem to understand this concept will always remain a mystery to me.

Yes, Turdle DOES stop that. RNC stops that. National money is often not awarded to Conservative campaigns, often awarded to their primary opponents. Media is intentionally dried up so the Conservative can get no air. The Conservative is purposefully forced out before you or I get to choose. It happens all the time.
The moderate wing is no friend to actual Conservatives.

Wrong. Entirely wrong-headed.
I have never preached *no* government, and you know it.
I have always preached *small* government - "governs least governs best"
This huge federal monolith is what those nasty democrats use to enslave you. Your rights are being taken from you precisely because THEY CAN. And they can because they have the power to. Take away the power, and suddenly they hold no threat.
The thing you ain't figured out yet is that When your guy leaves office and the next democrat gets in office, They'll have even more government to beat you with.
If your guy were at all conservative, when he left office, the democrats would be shackled by balanced budgets, and some amount of austerity having reduced the government and spending at their disposal.

There have been plenty of conservative candidates run who have enough of a campaign out there that people can know that they are, in fact, conservatives. And they just don't get enough votes.
We need to quit blaming that on the mysterious "them" and accept accountability that voters simply don't vote for them when given the chance.

Trump massively screwed the pooch with those Covid handouts. Leftist governments used a lot of that money to expand their agenda, and a lot of it was just plain wasted. We now have a country full of people who believe -- because of that shutdown experience and free money -- that we really don't need to work hard to have nice things. If we just bitch and whine enough, the government can just hand it out. And they believe that because they watched it actually happen for more than a year.
Donald Trump slammed a dagger into the guts of the American work ethic.

The thing YOU haven't figured out yet is not only don't I have a "guy",but I don't expect ANY politician to take office and change things in just one term. This crap didn't happen in one term,and it won't be replaced in one term.
Nor will your "perfect world" EVER be created because you will NEVER be satisfied unless your dogma becomes the official language of the party in power,and that will NEVER happen because we are,and I SINCERLY hope we remain a Democratic Republic,and not a police state.
In FACT,the challenge at this moment is to PREVENT America from becoming a globalist police state,and we are NOT going to be able to do that is people sit at home on their asses and refuse to vote because THEY don't think any of the candidates deserve their votes.
Kinda like an 8 year old child holding his breath until his face turns blue unless he gets his way.
This is part of the reason why Trump is the ideal candidate,even though he is rich.
The ONLY thing Trump cares about is how he is written about in the history books,and he clearly wants to go down in history as "the President that saved America."
The FACT that he can only serve ONE term is icing on top of the cake because he won't even office and start campaigning for re-election on the first day.
Him getting elected gives us 4 years to find a suitable replacement who is more concerned with saving America that he or she is in anything else.
No,there is no guarantee this will happen,but at least it gives us another 4 years to make up plans that will get more conservatives elected,and a slim chance IS better than no chance at all.
And finally,have you EVER in your entire life seen a Presidential candidate that scared the left even 10 percent as much as Trump scares them?

Oh I am accountable. That's why I am a Republican no more. That's why I no longer contribute to RTL and NRA. That's why I quit listening to Limbaugh, and quit watching fox news. It's why I will not vote for Tumpy.
And I don't give a rusty sh*t if I'm the only one. I see they ain't any opposition. I have drawn hard lines. I demand way more than candy thrown from the clown at the front of the parade. I will not support the big rhinestone 'R'.
When y'all start leaning back toward Reagan and away from the Booshes, maybe we can come back together. But until I see vast change, and real opposition, I'll be going my own way, yelling against the phony Republicans all the way along. *SPIT* Useless.

Sure you have a guy. You have been one of Tumpy's biggest fans, and anyone here will back that up. You always defend him.
And I don't expect it to be fixed in one term - Although the 94 Congress made huge gains in one political season. But I DO expect things to turn and go decidedly the other way - Which they are not. TUmpy did nearly nothing.
Nor will your "perfect world" EVER be created because you will NEVER be satisfied unless your dogma becomes the official language of the party in power,and that will NEVER happen because we are,and I SINCERLY hope we remain a Democratic Republic,and not a police state.
Nothing like that @sneakypete . I was perfectly happy to vote for Cruz. I was perfectly happy to vote for DeSantis - Both movers and shakers. Both elements of real change. I have money on Rosendale and Gianforte (MT state) right now. It is not that I cannot be satisfied. It is not that I am not participating - I am. I just won't help big government operatives on the Right *at all*, including Tumpy.
In FACT,the challenge at this moment is to PREVENT America from becoming a globalist police state,and we are NOT going to be able to do that is people sit at home on their asses and refuse to vote because THEY don't think any of the candidates deserve their votes.
Yeah, bullcrap. The challenge today is whether we will accept globalism from the Democrats in the form of becoming subsidiary to the UN, or if we will accept globalism through corporate entities with a thin veil of nationalism through the Republicans and Tumpy.
That's the fight, and I want NEITHER one. I am fighting BOTH.
Kinda like an 8 year old child holding his breath until his face turns blue unless he gets his way.
This is part of the reason why Trump is the ideal candidate,even though he is rich.
A rich globalist and a hopeful progenitor of federal cities. At a cost of trillions. You cannot be that blind.
I want none of that.

That's right. But more than that, the suspension of rights, the suspension of free trade, the destruction of small business... All terribly damaging to libertarian causes, not to mention the fiscal disaster.

Sure you have a guy. You have been one of Tumpy's biggest fans, and anyone here will back that up. You always defend him.
Are you actually brain-damaged from one of your falls? I KNOW I must have written WHY I am supporting Trump at least a dozen times,and never ONCE have I said that I am his fan,or even that I like him.
Trump is simply the best and ONLY option we have this election cycle.
And I don't expect it to be fixed in one term - Although the 94 Congress made huge gains in one political season. But I DO expect things to turn and go decidedly the other way - Which they are not. TUmpy did nearly nothing.
Nothing like that @sneakypete . I was perfectly happy to vote for Cruz. I was perfectly happy to vote for DeSantis - Both movers and shakers. Both elements of real change. I have money on Rosendale and Gianforte (MT state) right now. It is not that I cannot be satisfied. It is not that I am not participating - I am. I just won't help big government operatives on the Right *at all*, including Tumpy.
Yeah, bullcrap. The challenge today is whether we will accept globalism from the Democrats in the form of becoming subsidiary to the UN, or if we will accept globalism through corporate entities with a thin veil of nationalism through the Republicans and Tumpy.
That's the fight, and I want NEITHER one. I am fighting BOTH.
A rich globalist and a hopeful progenitor of federal cities. At a cost of trillions. You cannot be that blind.
I want none of that.
AND THERE IT IS! The "AH HATES RUDE RICH ORANGE MANS!"
Blah, balh, blah. Unicorn farts and rainbows.
Yup,that is you,alright.
YES. The current governor of Florida.
No surprise you will support any opportunistic whore rather than see Rude Orange Rich Man get elected.
Of course YOU are right because you support DeSanctimonious ,and everybody else is wrong because they support Trump,huh?

Trump massively screwed the pooch with those Covid handouts. Leftist governments used a lot of that money to expand their agenda, and a lot of it was just plain wasted. We now have a country full of people who believe -- because of that shutdown experience and free money -- that we really don't need to work hard to have nice things. If we just bitch and whine enough, the government can just hand it out. And they believe that because they watched it actually happen for more than a year.
Donald Trump slammed a dagger into the guts of the American work ethic.
Yup
And he was all too happy to do this. Insisted his name be on those checks. He also boasted about having to bail out the farmers harmed by his tariffs and claimed they should support him because of those checks. See the pattern? If a Democrat did this the same people making excuses for Trump would be howling at the moon
The things he did right, like the border for the most part, are gone. The things he did wrong, like what you outlined and inflation, are still haunting us today
Despite the insistence of his loyalists, Trump can be bought and bribed and quite easily. Look how quickly he changed his stance on Tik Tok just because someone flashed some money at him to do such. What else will he change his position on if the price is right?
The idea that Trump will get his four years and lay the groundwork for a conservative to follow him is pure nonsense . What’s more likely to happen is a Democrat would follow and that person would get a potential eight years. And it could end up being someone like Elizabeth Warren.

SP forgets that Trump was president once already and he has a tangible record we can weigh vs the fantasy he’s created in his mind
Here’s an article from Ann Coulter earlier this year that perfectly lays out the reality vs the fantasy many of Trump’s supporters have

Similar to the left’s excessive use of the racism charge whenever they are losing the argument, he won’t part with what he believes works
It’s his version of the “race card”

Exactly.
There's a lot of things about Trump's policies that I don't like, but overall, his policies are likely to be better than Biden's.
The prioblem is that Trump greatly weakens conservatism and the GOP, while Biden actually strengthens it. So if Trump's first term handed us over to Biden's hard left progressivism, what would a second Trump term give us?

Ann Coulter is right.
And every attempt to justify Tumpy on the record necessarily fails. In the end his fans wound up with nothing in their hands. Except the expense.
This is why executive orders don't count. I've tried to explain that all the way along. I told em so. But apparently it is more important to shake their d**ks and a**es at the other side. Because that's all they got out of it, and they are coming back for more.
In the mean time, by every metric, the swamp GREW under Tumpy. Every liberal wet dream was financed by the federal government. Business and free trade destroyed. Locked down.
And they want more.
There ain't no tellin em.
They will defend it with emotion.
They have the bit in their teeth.

There's that very long list of Trump's "accomplishments" that his supporters post occasionally to demonstrate what a great President he was. But if you take the time the actually read it, most of it is just his speeches/comments, or claims that he "got tough" on something, which also are based only on his rhetoric. His list of actual accomplishments is much, much smaller.

I have said it before: History will not be kind to Tump.
