https://www.axios.com/2024/02/04/rnc-trump-2024-biden-dnc-fundraising?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=socialFormer President Trump, in a stunning public rebuke of a longtime ally, suggested on Fox News today that Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel should get the boot.
Why it matters: The RNC reported this week that it had its worst fundraising year in almost a decade last year — entering 2024 with just $8 million in cash. Trump's comments are a sign of him flexing muscle as the de facto head of the GOP, even though the soonest he could clinch the nomination is March.
The comments also reflect growing friction between Trump and the RNC, even as McDaniel has faced criticism for publicly trying to push Nikki Haley out of the race to consolidate around Trump.
A shakeup at the RNC would be extraordinary just five months before the Republican National Convention.
Driving the news: Trump distanced himself from McDaniel on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."
"You have to understand, I have nothing to do with the RNC, I'm separate," Trump told host Maria Bartiromo.
"I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me, I think she did OK initially in the RNC. I would say right now there will probably be some changes made," Trump said when asked about McDaniel.
EXCERPT
Remind me again who put her there?
