Breaking: Ronna McDaniel Reelected Chairwoman of Republican National Committee

Ronna McDaniel won reelection as chairwoman of the Republican National Committee on Friday in a closed-door vote conducted by members.

The incumbent handily defeated California attorney Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, securing 111 votes to Dhillon’s 51 and Lindell’s four, according to a source present for the vote. There was also one write-in vote for Republican New York congressman and former gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin.
