WASHINGTON – The Republican race for the White House will run through Milwaukee in 2024. But before the party can turn its attention to the national convention in Wisconsin, it must first answer a major question: Who will lead the GOP into the next election? 

That will be decided this Friday when Republican National Committee members meet to elect the party’s chair amid calls for change from a vocal faction of Republicans concerned about underwhelming results in recent elections. Incumbent Ronna McDaniel faces opposition from California lawyer and committee member Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, both ardent supporters of former President Donald Trump.
