Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel faces another hurdle in her bid to retain leadership in a vote later this month, as the Alabama GOP issued (pdf) a vote of no confidence for her and called on a leadership change following the midterm elections.
“The Alabama Republican Party leadership is committed to representing our grassroots members, and defending the core conservative values that the people of Alabama stand for,” party leaders said in a statement released Monday. “We believe that RNC leadership needs a new vision for future elections.”
The Alabama GOP further stated its belief the RNC needs to prioritize “defending the American people and their God-given rights and freedom,” and stand strong for the party platform and GOP principles.
“We believe that the RNC needs fresh, new leadership who can inspire and lead grassroots Republicans to victory,” leaders continued. ”For these reasons, the Alabama Republican Party’s Steering Committee cannot support or endorse Ronna McDaniel for RNC Chair and declare our vote of no-confidence in her leadership.”
They further called on all RNC members across the country to support a leadership change at the RNC Winter Meeting, to be held in California beginning Jan. 25.
Leadership Race at RNC
As McDaniel seeks her fourth term as chair of the RNC, she enjoys support from some major GOP donors, according to Fox News, including Dave Kelsey, Melinda Hildebrand, Dr. James Reibel, Jeff Burns, Bobby Schostak, and Marianne and John Gibson.
Since the beginning of McDaniel’s tenure as chair of the RNC in 2017, those donors have contributed in total at least $14 million to the Republican Party, Fox reported.
