JOHN ROBERTS, FOX NEWS: RNC members had apparently 107 votes for you to be back as chairwoman, unless something crazy happens, that means pretty much have a lock on it. But you are challenged by Lee Zeldin, who of course ran for governor in New York state, and Harmeet Dhillonn as well. Zeldin will announce tomorrow whether he will challenge you, which may appear moot based on the letter.

But here’s what an RNC delegate from New Jersey said about your current chairmanship, and sorry for having an uncomfortable conversation, but he said: “I’m tired of losing. The number one job of the RNC Chair is to win. We didn’t do well in 2022, we didn’t do well in 2022. You have to fire the manager when the ball club does not win.”

RNC CHAIR RONNA MCDANIEL: I think that’s an unfair assessment of what the RNC has done. I’m really proud of the fact that we did turn out 4 million more voters. The community centers, which is a change I have instituted, where we’ve been in black and Hispanic and Asian communities. You look at some candidates like Monica De La Cruz, change agents in the party.

The RNC builds the road, and the cars drive on it, that’s the candidates. We don’t pick the cars, the voters do. You need both to get to your destination, you need a really strong campaign and consultants, but I think the RNC has built an incredible road, we are getting the vote out. How do you explain 4 million more voters in this election and we also did take back the House.

JOHN ROBERTS: So to your point you build the road, up don’t pick the cars. Did you get the cars that you wanted?

RONNA MCDANIEL: The voters chose the cars, and I know all the candidates, and I’m not going to candidate bash. This is about moving forward, but I will say this. The amount of ticket-splitting we’ve seen in this election where one candidate won statewide, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia. Why did you vote for this Republican and not the other? In every single battleground state a Republican won, and the RNC turned out the vote, but why did they vote for one and not the other, and that’s the sweet spot. And Republicans not voting for Republicans is a key issue. We saw it in Arizona with Kari Lake and we’re seeing it in Georgia right now with those Kemp voters who didn’t vote for Herschel Walker.

We have to start coming together, guys because the Democrats are worse. So let’s stop bashing each other. We will only win as a united party in 2024.
