Several state GOP groups have expressed frustration with McDaniel’s leadership and called for a new RNC head.
Trump attorney Harmeet Dhillon is getting some support from within the Republican National Committee in her bid to unseat Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
Over the weekend, Dhillon got the backing of longtime RNC member Morton Blackwell, founder of the conservative training group The Leadership Institute.
“She has a long and successful record as a leader for conservative principles at the state and national levels,” tweeted Blackwell, a committee member from Virginia.
Most committee members have already pledged their support for a fourth term for McDaniel. But Republicans have underperformed in the past three election cycles, after McDaniel become the RNC leader in 2017, which is raising concerns about reelecting her.
New Jersey RNC Committeeman Bill Palatucci told The Washington Times on Sunday that he takes support pledges “with a grain of salt.”
