Lara Trump Shares Huge News
Lara Trump, the new co-chair of the Republican National Committee and a former first daughter, disclosed that the party had its "largest fundraising weekend" since her father was in the White House following the dismissal of numerous staff members.
The Republican National Committee faced challenges in fundraising over the past three years without former President Donald Trump. Consequently, former chair Ronna McDaniel stepped down, and Michael Whatley, a Trump ally and head of the North Carolina Republican Party, was appointed as chair along with Lara Trump. The recent surge in fundraising indicates a positive shift now that the Trump family is back at the helm.
"I am proud to announce that last weekend the @GOP had the largest digital fundraising weekend since 2020. Much more to come…we are just getting started!" Lara Trump hinted on X.
"The change in leadership at the RNC has really inspired a lot of people to give," Lara Trump stated in a follow-up interview with Newsmax, as reported by the Post Millennial. "We had the best fundraising weekend since 2020 over the last weekend, and that should tell you everything you need to know."
"People understand this is a must-win election, and I think they’re very confident in the team we now have between myself as co-chair and Michael Whatley as chairman," she continued.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) recently announced the termination of over 60 employees in its political, communications, and digital divisions as part of a strategic realignment for aggressive fundraising during an election year. With enough delegates secured for the GOP nomination, President Trump’s campaign will merge with the RNC to optimize outreach and internal procedures.
Whatley and Lara Trump were selected due to their strong commitment to election integrity initiatives, supported by President Trump and Christina Bobb, the new head of the RNC legal department. Bobb will oversee the RNC’s election integrity efforts through the 2024 elections.
Lara Trump highlighted the importance of "legal ballot harvesting" and the RNC’s "Bank Your Vote" campaign, which promotes Republican mail-in voting, in the upcoming elections.
"We’ve been playing checkers, and the Democrats have been playing chess. Unfortunately, we don’t have one day of voting, we don’t have paper ballots, we don’t have voter ID everywhere. So we have to play the hand that we’re dealt," Lara Trump remarked.
"This is something that has never been done by the RNC, but I can promise you will be a huge part of what we’re planning to do," she added regarding the election integrity initiatives.
