Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is getting involved in the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) ongoing leadership battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gov. DeSantis endorsed former Trump campaign adviser and California attorney Harmeet Dhillon in her bid to take the RNC chairmanship away from Ronna McDaniel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think we need to get some new blood in the RNC,\u201d DeSantis told Charlie Kirk,<\/a> the founder of conservative Turning Point USA, on Florida\u2019s Voice<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI like what Harmeet Dhillon has said about getting the RNC out of D.C. Why would you want to have your headquarters in the most Democrat city in America? It\u2019s more Democrat than San Francisco is,\u201d he continued, referencing a letter that Dhillon sent to RNC members about looking into regional offices while keeping their headquarters in Washington.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Florida governor referenced the disappointing performance of Republicans in the last three election cycles as the reason for wanting a leadership change at the RNC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had three substandard election cycles in a row: \u201818, \u201820 and \u201822. And I would say of all three of those, \u201822 was probably the worst. Given the political environment of a very unpopular president in Biden, huge majorities of the people think the country is going in the wrong direction \u2014 that is an environment that\u2019s tailor-made to make big gains in the House and the Senate and in state houses all across the country. And yet that didn\u2019t happen,\u201d DeSantis told Kirk.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

DeSantis\u2019s comments come just one day before the RNC committee members will hold a secret ballot vote for several positions, including their chairperson.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to McDaniel and Dhillon, the pro-Trump MyPillow CEO\u00a0Mike Lindell\u00a0is also running to lead the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
