In order to sustain a successful political operation for an election win this year, former Republican National Committee Co-chair Lara Trump said that both firings and an intense focus on election integrity were required.

Trump took over leadership of the RNC with chairman Michael Whatley in March after a contentious seven years under former Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel. McDaniel’s tenure was highlighted by losing or underperforming in every election cycle she oversaw, as well as a scandal in which the RNC under her leadership was caught spending an enormous amount of donor money on private jets, luxury retreats, floral arrangements, cosmetics, and more.

McDaniel’s embattled tenure, coupled with the grave concerns about how the 2020 election was run and Americans’ subsequent lack of trust that it was conducted fairly, resulted in an overhaul at the RNC. The overhaul was driven by Republicans who believed both that there was very little integrity in elections generally and that the RNC was doing nothing to solve the issues.

Trump, speaking with PragerU about reforms she and Whatley made after taking over control from McDaniel, said, “Previously, people were very nervous about discussing election integrity. It got people upset, and it was a hot-button topic for a lot of people: You could be heavily criticized for even contemplating that there could be a problem in our voting process.”

“But if you have half the country thinking … that their vote isn’t going to matter or that there’s some something nefarious going on, that’s a big problem,” she added.

Amazing how well an engine runs when something as simple as having the spark plug wires in the right place.
