Lara Trump announces Donald Trump's reelection plan after RNC co-chair endorsement
Lara Trump vows, if elected co-chair, she will spend "every single penny" of Republican National Committee (RNC) funds to reelect her father-in-law Donald Trump and "show the door" to anyone who is not on board. The former president's daughter-in-law told Newsmax on Tuesday of her plans to transform the RNC into the "leanest, most lethal" political machine in US history. "That is the goal over the next nine-and-a-half months. If I am elected to this position, I can assure you ... Every single penny will go to the No. 1 and the only job of the RNC — that is elected Donald J. Trump as president of the United States and saving this country," she said. The pledge follows the former president endorsing his daughter-in-law as RNC co-chair following reports current RNC chair Ronna McDaniel will likely resign after the South Carolina Republican primary. He also endorsed North Carolina GOP Party Chair Michael Whatley to serve as RNC chair. McDaniel, who was set to serve until 2025, has been under pressure from Trump's allies for months due to concerns about the RNC's use of finances ahead of the general election. Married to Eric Trump, Lara has been engaged with the RNC and party donors since her father-in-law's tenure in the Oval Office.
