On election day 2023, the GOP lost control of the Virginia statehouse; lost a referendum that has now solidified abortion until birth in Ohio; lost a gubernatorial race in right-leaning Kentucky; and lost numerous high-profile school board races in Virginia, Iowa, and Pennsylvania.
Many have rightfully pointed the finger at RNC Chairman Ronna Romney-McDaniel.
Equally, during the 2020 Georgia runoff election, when Republicans lost both U.S. Senate seats, where was Ronna Romney-McDaniel and the RNC? That's right.
My own husband, retired Missouri State Senator John Loudon, flew to Atlanta on runoff election day that year, observing the count in the infamous State Farm Arena - the center of controversy just two months earlier when Republican election workers were sent home for the evening while Democrats stayed and ran ballots into the counting machines all night.
Against a backdrop like that, surely Ronna and her RNC would be ready for the runoff, you would assume.
Republicans suffered defeats in the 2018 midterms, the 2020 presidential election and midterm election, the 2022 midterm election, and now the 2023 elections.
If Republicans want to put their best foot forward in 2024, they will utilize the RNC Winter Meeting in Las Vegas on January 31st - February 2nd to pick a new leader.
