Inside GOP, calls grow for party chair to resign in wake of midterms

Agrowing number of Republican Party officials are frustrated with GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel following Tuesday's midterm elections and want her to resign, according to Republican sources familiar with the situation.

"People are upset and want to replace Ronna," said one veteran Republican National Committee official. "They're calling for her resignation but not publicly. [RNC] members are calling for accountability as they should."

The official noted that, even before the 2022 midterms, Democrats gained control of the House in 2018 and then did the same in 2020 for both the White House and the Senate — including a runoff election in Georgia. McDaniel has been chairing the RNC since 2017.

Leading into Election Day this week, polling had indicated for months that Republicans would enjoy a landslide, red wave victory. However, Republican hopes for such a victory faded Tuesday night as Democrats performed better in House races than expected and won some key Senate and gubernatorial seats considered vulnerable.

As the vote count currently stands, neither party has secured a majority in the House or Senate, with more ballots to be tallied and more states to be decided. Republicans are leading and still likely to win control of the House, but by a much smaller margin than forecast. As for the Senate, it's anyone's guess, but any majority will be razor thin.

Still, McDaniel argued the results amounted to a big win for the GOP.

"I think the night turned out great," she said on Fox News after the election. "We are retiring [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi. There was a wave that happened last night, and we are waving goodbye to Speaker Pelosi. And we are going to have a Republican majority in the House, which also means we're going to be able to stop this disastrous Biden agenda that's hurting..."

She can resign as party chair to run her uncle’s reelection campaign in Utah. He will need a lot of help in that.

If there is enough GOP willpower when called for, I think Ronna Mac will be easier to replace than Kevin McCarthy
And HE would be far easier to replace than Mitch McConnell.
Mitch hangs on like an aged barnacle on the underside of a ship.

Heres how I view it as an outsider and, thank god, non politician.

Mitch didnt want to win the senate, on purpose.

Pelosi going away is wonderful for the country.

We are letting them cheat in PA, AZ, and MI. AGAIN.

The left/media are spinning this as great for dems and bad for repubs when its better for us than them, overall.

Our side didn’t hammer on dems destroying the country and economy with covid shutdowns, and murdering the elderly like in NY and denying ivermectin which is incredibly effective and safe, but cheap and not a moneymaker for them.

All our uniparty gop leadership needs to be gotten rid of permanently.

If we can’t kick Xheney out we can’t get rid of the uniparty cancer in the party.

Trump will be propelled to win in 2024.

I read today on another message board that it’s possible that Dems could vote to have Liz as Speaker. Is that possible?

I don’t sense she’s the problem.

Remember Much criticizing his own senate candidates early on?

Pulling money from surging candidates?

And refusing to have any national strategy or platform? saying it wasn’t needed.

I think McConnell is a ridiculous game player.

Sure its possible. Anyone can be Speaker, you don’t even have to be in Congress. Just need enough votes.

Now, is it probable? Hell no.

> handpicked by Trump

That doesn’t necessarily mean she’s loyal, conservative or competent.

Given Trump’s track record, she’s probably incompetent and disloyal.

GOP election problems are mostly demographic.

There are more legal Democrats than legal Republicans.

The Democratic Party solved its voter turn out problems in 2018, 2020, and 2022.

For many decades before 2018, Republicans and Conservatives had a significant turn out advantage. We won many elections based only on superior turn out.

I do not discount voter fraud, but anyone who thinks voter fraud is the only problem we are facing today is completely blind to demographic reality.
