RNC chair race gets competitive as Harmeet Dhillon builds up big endorsements against Ronna McDaniel

Ronna McDaniel has pledges of support from 108 of the 168 Republican National Committee members voting in next month’s chairmanship race — but RNC insiders say a fourth term for Mrs. McDaniel isn’t a done deal yet.

New Jersey Republican National Committeeman Bill Palatucci told The Washington Times Mrs. McDaniel is in a strong position, but his experience tells him things could change.

“RNC members are experts at looking you in the eye and saying, ‘Oh I am with you and in a secret ballot going into the voting booth and slitting your throat,” Mr. Palatucci said after Herschel Walker fell in the Georgia Senate race.
