Trump has hinted changes were coming, suggesting in an interview with Newsmax that McDaniel step down as chairwoman.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to ABC News, RNC Spokesperson Keith Schipper says, \u201cNothing has changed. This will be decided after South Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Trump campaign has not returned requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>In January, McDaniel was re-elected for her fourth term as chair, saying at the time, &#8220;It is an honor to be re-elected as Chairwoman of the RNC, and I am deeply grateful that our members have entrusted me with another term in this role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The work to make Joe Biden a one-term president is already underway: it is time for our party to unite and re-dedicate ourselves to electing Republicans up and down the ballot. I look forward to working alongside conservative leaders, including Harmeet and Mike, from across our party to deliver on our promises to the American people,&#8221; McDaniel said.<\/p>\n<p>McDaniel retained support from well over half of the 168 voting RNC members, clinching 111 votes, while her opponents &#8212; attorney Harmeet Dhillon received 51 and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell &#8212; received four.<\/p>\n<p>During a candidate forum before the vote, McDaniel was the only candidate to receive a standing ovation from RNC members, according to several sources who were present in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the race, McDaniel released a letter boasting endorsements from more than 100 of the 168 voting RNC members, handing her buffer room to shed support to a challenger and still be on strong footing.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
