Lara Trump Lays Out Plans
Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to former President Donald Trump, has been making waves in the political world as she solidifies her stance as the front-runner for the next co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC).
During a campaign stop in North Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday, Trump shared her priorities for the RNC and her plans to revamp the organization, which has been struggling to keep up with the fundraising efforts of its Democrat counterpart.
One of Trump’s top priorities, she told a crowd of roughly 150 supporters, is to legally ballot harvest in key areas in order to secure Republican victories. Trump stressed the importance of following the law, unlike Democrats, who she accused of trying to steal elections through various means. Additionally, Trump plans to launch initiatives aimed at registering more Republican voters and training poll watchers to prevent any illegal activity during elections.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Trump addressed the fundraising challenges facing the RNC, noting that the organization is significantly behind the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in terms of cash on hand. Trump stated she believes this is largely due to the backing of President Biden’s joint fundraising entities, which has given the DNC a considerable advantage. Trump emphasized the need to start fundraising immediately, stating “we have no time to waste.”
Trump also reiterated her belief that “every single penny” the RNC receives should go towards electing former President Trump, as well as expanding the Republican majority in the House of Representatives and flipping the Senate from Democrat control. She acknowledged the uphill battle Republicans will face in the upcoming election, given the significant resources available to the Democratic party.
The controversy surrounding conservative activist Charlie Kirk was also addressed during the interview, with Trump praising his work in engaging with young voters and advocating for conservative policies on college campuses. The NBC report detailing Kirk’s involvement in current RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s plan to step down was referenced, but this did not deter Trump from voicing her support for Kirk. She believes he has been “masterful” in reaching out to the youth and hopes he will continue to play a role in the party’s future success.
There is no set date for when McDaniel will step down from her role as chairwoman, but RNC committee members are expected to elect her successor early next month. This has sparked a great deal of speculation and rumors, with many wondering who will be chosen as the next co-chair. Trump’s recent activities, including her campaign stop in South Carolina, have only further solidified her position as the front-runner for the role.
It is worth noting that Trump is not alone in her bid for co-chair of the RNC. Other potential candidates, including Leo Thorsness and Jazmine Early, are also vying for the position. However, Trump’s close ties to the former president and her strong fundraising capabilities have given her a clear advantage in the race.
While some may question Trump’s lack of experience in politics, her enthusiasm and dedication to the Republican party have not gone unnoticed. Many believe she has the potential to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the RNC, which could help revitalize the organization and make it a stronger force in future elections.
In the coming weeks, all eyes will be on the RNC as they elect their next co-chair. Whoever is chosen will have a heavy burden on their shoulders, as they work to not only increase fundraising efforts but also unite the Republican party and secure victories in the upcoming elections. It remains to be seen if Lara Trump will indeed be elected as co-chair, but one thing is for sure – she is determined to do whatever it takes to get the Republican party back on track and to help secure a Republican victory in the White House.
