Since Ronna Romney McDaniel assumed leadership of the GOP in 2017, the party’s grip on power has seemingly loosened. Under her watch, Republicans have experienced a series of electoral setbacks, losing eight gubernatorial races, three Senate seats, 19 House seats, and a presidential race.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday that the RNC is looking at opening a credit line to help pay the bills and compensate for dismal recent fundraising levels.
It can be recalled that donations to the feckless Republican Party reached an 8-year low under Ronna McDaniel.
An in-depth investigation by RedState has revealed concerning details about the spending habits of the Republican National Committee (RNC) under the leadership of chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, highlighting a troubling pattern of expenditure on non-essential items.
This report comes over a year after the initial exposé that revealed millions in donor funds being allocated to luxury items and high-end entertainment.
The latest financial scrutiny, drawing from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) records, compares the RNC’s spending to that of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) from October 20, 2022, to November 30, 2023. The results display a stark contrast in financial priorities between the two parties.
Here’s a breakdown of the spending categories between the RNC and the DNC:
Floral Arrangements:
RNC: $70,328.00
DNC: $795
Consultants:
RNC: $1,078,279.47
DNC: $114,000
Office Supplies:
RNC: $297,717.64
DNC: $45,005
Limousines:
RNC: $263,127.25
DNC: $7,000
Voter File Maintenance:
RNC: $39,233.50
DNC: $235,865.88
GOTV Texts:
RNC: $86,019
DNC: $1,676,923.29
State Outlays:
RNC: $13,800,200
DNC: $23,835,437
The organization has outspent the DNC in areas such as floral arrangements, consultants, office supplies, and limousines.
The DNC has channeled significantly more funds into key areas like voter file maintenance, GOTV (Get Out The Vote) texting campaigns, and state party support, which are traditionally vital for election success.
On the heels of this political maneuvering, The New York Times has reported that Ronna McDaniel is set to resign following the South Carolina GOP primary. Additionally, Politico has revealed that Mike Reed, Chief of Staff for the RNC, will also be stepping down later this month to focus on his family.
However, Ronna McDaniel sent out an email to members denying reports that she has agreed to step down from her post as RNC Chairwoman.
“With a news cycle full of palace intrigue and speculation surrounding all of us, I want to take the time to reassure all of you that I am still hard at work as RNC Chairwoman and building a machine that will elect Republicans up and down the ballot in November,” McDaniel wrote.
She continued, “Myself and my staff are refusing to be distracted by the outside noise and we remain committed to our mission – rumors to the contrary are simply not true. Nothing has changed and there will not be any changes decided on until after south Carolina, when we may have our eventual nominee.”
“An inside source tells me this is the RNC’s attempt to slow things down because they’ve lost control of the process, ie who replaces Ronna, who will be co-chair, etc,” TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk said on X.
