Former President Donald Trump suggested in an interview Sunday that “some changes” could be coming to the Republican National Committee when asked about Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s performance.
Federal Election Commission filings show the RNC had only $8 million cash in hand, its lowest figure since 2014.
Trump made the comment on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” when asked about the RNC’s apparent cash issues under McDaniel, who came under fire after Republicans underperformed expectations of a “red wave” in the 2022 midterm elections and had a disappointing 2023 election night, losing control of the Virginia General Assembly and failing to unseat Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky.
“So, I have a lot of money, and the money that they get, people are not looking at the RNC,” Trump responded. “They want changes. You have to understand, I have nothing to do with the RNC, I don’t – I’m separate.”
McDaniel clashed with Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in November after the entrepreneur called for her firing during a GOP debate that month.
When asked Sunday how McDaniel was doing,” Trump replied, “I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me. I think she did OK initially at the RNC. I would say right now, there’ll probably be some changes made.”
The RNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
