i like what harmeet said about getting the rnc out of d.c. nebraska and the washington state gop also endorsing harmeet dhillon. so, you can say look, i got a letter from all these delegates in december, this is ronna mcdaniel that say they are going to support me, things could potentially change. >> yeah, and with the secret ballot nobody has to be accountable if they change the vote. and i heard william express there, both of these primary candidates we think between ronna mcdaniel and harmeet dhillon, and mike lindell, and not just get rid of the existing person, no, this is my plan how we can turn this around, get more people elected to the federal positions. so she's going to be in there and the fight ronna mcdaniel will say i had a good track record, we won seats in the midterms and so how can you kick me out when we have flipped some seats from blue to red. >> sandra: she said there is a tendency to scapegoat or ignore the wins. her words, we defied history in 2018, 15 seats, 2020 in the house, unprecedented, and this year winning back

i like what harmeet dhillon has said about getting the rnc out of d.c. >> what do you think?mean it didn't work, and if you look at the numbers, it was pretty resounding victory for ronna mcdaniel. so i think that that actually kind of does not speak to desantis' power as an insurgent if you're looking for clues as to whether rnc members will unite behind a non-trump figure. desantis gave them an opportunity, and it didn't work and i think that's significant. >> today's top story, we're all bracing for this video to be released of the brutal police beating of tyre nichols and cnn's manu raju asked speaker kevin mccarthy if the house would move on any policing legislation in congress. a while back there had been a bipartisan evident to reach an agreement on police reform and that fell apart. now it's back into focus. mccarthy replied, quote, look i think anything we do goes through committee. what do you make of that? >> i -- he's saying that nothing is happening in the house on this issue. i think that's the reality of it. when you look back at the movement that that had been

we heard harmeet, we here mike lyndell.h all of us united and going together, the democrats will hear us in 2024 when we take back the white house and the senate. thank you. thank you. [applause] thank you all again. we are going to add more booths for the co-chair race. see, we can change. we can change. so i will switch to where i'm supposed to be in my script. sorry about that. also thanks pat tick and abby and ash. love you guys. okay. we'll now proceed with the co-chairman election. rule number 5 a-1 statements a chairman and co-chairman of the opposite sex shall be elected by the members of the republican national committee. three candidates for co-chairman have demonstrated the required support for nomination. the order of nomination was decided by a random drawing. we will now begin. the chair recognizes vera ordigan from colorado for the purpose of nominating a candidate for rnc co-chairman. >> trace: here you have some housecleaning going on down there at dana point. what happened is that ronna mcdaniel won her fo

, it was not a contest, but harmeet has picked up off some from around the country, and capitol hill and ron desantis yesterday. interesting to see how these two have made their arguments. at townhall.com, we ran op-eds of them making their case. harmeet said like in the interview, i respect ronna mcdaniel, done a lot to outreach voters and make contacts but it has not resulted in winning elections, what the rnc is for. but ronna said she has built the infrastructure and it would be detrimental to take her out in the middle of the game. the desantis endorsement, it's interesting on the 2024 level, candidates looking to get into the race have an interest in who the rnc chair is and it's been implied that president trump is supporting mcdaniel behi electis in a row, you want a fourth try at that, i guess thinking albert einstein said the definition of insanity was the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result. but desantis said a tendency to for a scapegoat or ignore wins. narrow margin, they did not win back the senate but turned a lot of seats. >> harmeet has argue

harmeet will put us in a position to win. we are not here to criticize what has happened in the past, but to look forward and out to what lies ahead. we have a great responsibility and a great opportunity to do something that has not been done by the rnc in a very long time, if ever. we have the opportunity to elect a chair of the rnc who has the approval and the excitement of almost all of our grassroots activists at home. and with this overwhelming support, harmeet will be in a position to lead with strong winds behind her, paving the way for big wins in 2024 and truly seeing a red wave. members of the 168, friends, we are at an inflection point. our party and our conservative values are the only thing standing in the way of absolute tearny. -- tyranny. but if we show the courage to change today, i believe in my heart that rather than the tyranny and the depravity that we see amongst the democrat party, instead, we can have hope that we will see, and i quote, that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom just

it is down to incumbent ronna mcdaniels who was hand picked by trump in 2016, and challenger harmeetump attorney praised just yesterday by florida governor ron desantis. >> i think we need to get some new blood in the rnc. i like what harmeet dhillon has said about getting the rnc out of dc. >> whoever those 168 members ultimately choose, whomever, will lead the gop, through the 2024 presidential election, after a disappointing 2022 midterm cycle, and 2020 presidential cycle, and 2018 mid-term cycle, by the way, it also comes as "the new york times" reports more rnc members are backing away from donald trump. joining me now from data point, california, is nbc's vaughn hillyard, also with me is "washington post" senior national political correspondent ashley parker. so vaughn, it's interesting, the race between these two women, because they're both very trump aligned, and it appears from the election results we've got in the last three election cycles, that the candidates that trump backs, and the rnc backs because trump backs are not the ones who do so well. >> reporter: right, and y

but when you're talking about harmeet dhillon, the challenger, who was able to cobble together abouts is where some of the grass roots here, in this republican party, that is even to the right, you could say, of where maga is at, where they go from here, you know, there is a radio personality who is standing next to me, or right before, a conservative radio personality right before the announcement was made, and said if ronna wins, fundraising is going to dry up. and there is a great deal of frustration in the fact that $400 million was not able to pick up a greater margin of victory. but what you heard from the likes of charlie kirk who is a headliner, kari lake, here in california as a surrogate for harmeet dhillon is, not the fact that the messaging was the issue, but it was a matter of how the resources were spent here. and so the question here is, does the republican party under ron that mcdaniel over the next year or two years, are they able to stick together here? or is there going to be some of these outside factions that look to galvanize wings of the republican party, and t

now harmeet dhillon is saying these clowns can't win an election.re's not a lot of evidence she knows how to either. her coalition is interesting. it's both the hardest core of the rnc, and some of the pragmatic party regulators who just want to get ronna mcdaniel out of there because they think it's keystone cove city. ronna mcdaniel is favored, and the rnc is a very inside election, only 170 votes, three from each state, and another 18. that is the official. they don't like outsiders. as you saw in the new york times, they want a change. so, you know, it's not impossible that harmeet upsets this thing, but it would be a shocker. now, desantis has made it a proxy battle in a smaller way between him and trump. i can't figure out the smart move for him here. now, if ronna, who starts with more support, is able to hang on, that is a win for trump at a time when his new york times showed us the rnc, a bunch of those members that used to be hard-core trump all the way, are now looking for something new. >> what i don't get, and i mean, i don't -- there

harmeet dhillon has a potentially real chance.aniel is still the clear favorite going into tomorrow. >> very quickly, kevin, do you see any surprises here? from the other side of the aisle looking at this, or do you think they are going to stand pat? >> trace, i would be very surprised if ronna mcdaniel doesn't pull it out. she has announced over 100 supporters, 168. as william just said, you need 85 to clear it. i would be very surprised if the party turns against her. to sarah's point, i think it's a really good one, you are seeing this shape up as almost a proxy fight between the donald trump camp and the ron desantis camp. but anything could happen on a secret ballot. i will certainly be watching from this side of the aisle. >> trace: i want to play this sound bite from president biden going after maga republicans today, saying that republicans are going to change social security and medicare, and then i will get your response. watch. >> there's another group, house republican leadership. as i said, it's not your father's repu

back with me now charlie kirk harmeet dhillon raymond arroyo.harlie this has been fascinating to watch. i think the drama's actually good. i don't think there's anything wrong with the drama. i think it draws people in to this conversation about how the nuts and bolts of this legislative process works and how again corrupt it has been year after year after year and there's some pretty substantive changes which are on the table which look like they'll actually be put into place for at least the next two years. what's wrong with that? >> there's noning wrong with it, a huge victory. i was skeptical at the beginning of the week to get this into multiple ballots. in fact there is still a very legitimate concern out there that moderate republicans could caucus with democrats. you saw some chatter tonight with representative gonzalez say he's going to be a no on the rules package because it goes too far in favor of the flea dom caucus. that's always an understandable fear. however you have to give credit to the holdouts to negotiating for a better con

. >> harmeet dhillon represented donald trump into the investigation of the january 6th capitol riot dillon wants the rnc to encourage early voting and points to losses in the 2018 midterms, 2020 election and disappointing 2022 midterm. >> i don't think a 5 or 4 vote majority in the house is the red wave we promised voters. >> ronna mcdaniel supporters maintain she has raised a record $1.5 billion over her tenure. mcdaniel says under her leadership the rnc made the last few elections better than they otherwise could have been. >> we don't pick the candidates. the voters do. we don't make the messaging, the campaigns do. but we are the turnout. we won in every battleground state. >> mcdaniel has also pulled the party from participating in the commission on presidential debates, a first since the commission was created in 1987. my pillow ceo mike lindell is also running. is he a fervent trump supporter and echoed many of the unproven theories of fraud in the 2020 election. with all three candidates tied to the former president trump is withholding an endorsement. in an interview with f

so it is not impossible that harmeet upsets this thing, but it would be a shocker. desantis has made it a proxy battle in a smaller way between him and trump. i can't figure out the smart move for him here because now ronna who is able to hang on, that is a win for trump at a time when the "new york times" showed us the rnc a bunch of those members that used to be hardcore trump all the way are now looking for something new. >> what i don't get, there is a lot of reporting on this about the way in which ronna romney mcdaniel -- i know she wants me to stop saying romney -- of is being blamed for the party's losses. "the hill" says that some are calling for ronna to step down. and i had to laugh because it is like do you know why the party lost? it is not because of ronin a ronna mcdaniel. it is because the party has been led off a cliff by donald trump ronna mcdaniel. it is because the party has been led off a cliff by donald trump. the fact that harmee techltt can put together conservatives, they are talking about new pizza and just changing the box. they need to ch

has an endumb -- incumbent and a challenge her, harmeet dylan.nks for being here. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: when is the election? >> it's friday, january 27. where we are is we've had a tremendous outpouring of support from all over the country from grass roots voters, members of congress and from some of the party's most significant donors. i'd say over a million e-mails have been sent to the rnc members about this race. that's really unprecedented. wherever you are inside the rnc, which is a vote between the 168 members, we've perfected our messages and gone back and forth. when you sort out the trash talk that is normal, it's fair to summarize the incumbents message is that everything is fine, let's stay the course. we're doing great at the rnc. that's what the her supporters are believing as well. my message is everything is not fine with american voters. we have a responsibility as a party to fix what is wrong so that we can win elections. this is politics. it's all about winning and losing elections. since we've lost in three cycles,

but the race for rnc chair between incumbent ronna mcdani d challenger harmeet dhillon, a lawyer and memr, is revealing deeper divisions in the gop, as republicans hope to build a winning strategy for the 2024 campaign. erik iverson is a republican strategist and the former chair of the montana republican party. he joins me now. erik, welcome, and thanks for joining us. before we get into what all this means for the party, i want to talk about this rnc chair race. ronna mcdaniel seems to have the votes that she needs. but, of course, nothing's done until the vote, which is tomorrow. but there are clear divisions playing out in the open here, right? what does this battle say to you? what's it all about? erik: well, first, thanks for having me. look, i mean, these races tend to take care of themselves. we will know by tomorrow who the new chair is. for me, what's more important than who is sitting in that chair is, what are they going to do? i think the new chair of the republican party nationally needs to do two things right off the get-go, right off the bat. we have to fix this hard

you don't care about ronna mcdaniel or harmeet dhillon."servant, thank you for watching. i'm talking about this race because of one man: my pillow c.e.o. and mary poppins' troubled uncle, mike lindell. in the run up to friday's vote, lindell claimed he called every member of the r.n.c. and bragged, "sometimes i talk for three to four hours to one person." (as lindell) "i do most of the talking. occasionally, they'll ask a question like "911 what's your emergency?" so lindell put in the effort and in the end he was rewarded with four votes. four, really? not 4%? four, that actually seems bit high. jim, can we see who voted for lindell? checks out. are they related to that burger guy? something in the eyes. there's news from the land down under, because a tiny radioactive capsule has been lost in australia. or as it was reported down in australia: "crikey!" thank you, i want to thank murray bartlett for being here today. hello murray. to raise public awareness, this image of the tiny, tiny capsule has been released. no! notng that important s

ceo for the center of american liberty harmeet dhillon. my pillow ceo mike lindell.esantis says yeah, he thinks that someone new is needed. >> we have had three substandard election cycles in a row. 18, 20, and 22. i would say of all through of those, '22 was probably the worst. i think we need a change. i think we need to get some new blood in the rnc. i like what harmeet dhillon has said about getting the rnc out of d.c. >> so of course governor desantis has positioned himself as a potential 2024 candidate. new hampshire survey center found that transportation secretary pete buttigieg has nabbed 23% of likely democratic voters with president biden trailing at 18%. even that is a tying position with senator elizabeth warren, bernie sanders came away with 15% that poll. interestingly 66% of those surveyed said they did not want president biden seeking another term and 26% reported that the president should definitely not run. guys? >> will: thank you, alexandria. that set of candidates for potential democratic nominee for president in 20 2024. i don't think that's a

now challenger harmeet dhillon has exploited that frustration right or wrong basically saying listen, donors and activists are not happy. mcdaniel, over welling 114 votes out of 167 cast. well over the 84 needed. now, members tell me that it was number 1 a matter of trust. they felt that she had the best temperament to lead the party. they're upset with the intimidation tactics that they felt that the campaign exploited. they say it's not time to change horses before a contentious 2024 presidential primary. >> we heard harmeet and mike lyndell. but with all of us united, the democrats are going to hear us in 2024. >> so dhillon said she was disappointed by said she will work with mcdaniel. she also had a warning. she related some anecdotes that were very telling. she said how dare you call us the establishment? she said sorry, honey, but you are. she related an anecdote said i don't give a dam about the small donors. she said i do. the beginning and the ending are equally important. the republicans have to come out united, not divided if they expect to win any more elections in two ye

the way, a quick note on ron desantis, at the last minute he has thrown his political weight with harmeet as they decide who the next leader of the rmc is. >> ainsley: but he wants ronald mcdaniel. they are running against ronna mcdaniel who had that posed her fourth time if she wins and harmeet dhillon who we have in our show often and mike lindell from my pillow. so that vote is taking place today, right? so we will see who is going to be the head of the rnc. >> will: one more note on this, there was a poll out from potential new hampshire voters on joe biden or to include joe biden who is the favorite for democratic candidate for president 2024? biden came and i believe second or third. bhupete buttigieg came in second and he would have to make an argument that overcomes people like azalea banks. yes we explain that running a state into the ground essentially ruining the pacific ocean, i mean what better natural asset you have to keep your people in your state but hey, look, the pacific ocean. people go no, i'm good. i'm moving to north texas. he has ruined that in crime and people lea

you've seen harmeet dhillon who is running against ronna mcdaniel.hat would be mike lindell the ceo of mypillow but he's having a tough time cobbling up support here and that is the question here over the next 24 hours. the biggest question coming out of california is who is going to be the next leader of this republican party. >> and then i know another question is what about the debates, the presidential debates. they're considering changing rules for presidential debates for the next go-around? >> reporter: that's absolutely here on the table as well. in fact i was talking last night with now former governor of arkansas, asa hutchinson, who is here. and he's openly talking about running for president and challenging the likes of donald trump. he told me he was here to make the case to these rnc members that they should have neutrality. that the party should have an open primary process, not one that is biased towards the likes of a donald trump, and that they have open debates, welcome individuals like him onto the debate stage. we're talking abou

but the race for rnc chair between incumbent ronna mcdaniel and challenger harmeet dhillon, a lawyer and rnc member, is revealing deeper divisions in the gop as republicans hope to build a winning strategy for the 2024 campaign. erik iverson is a republican strategist and the former chair of the montana republican party. i want to talk about this rnc chair race. ronna mcdaniel seems to have the votes she needs but of course nothing is done until the vote which is tomorrow. but there are clear divisions playing out in the open here. what does this battle say to you? what is it all about? erik: thanks for having me. these races tend to take care of themselves. we will know by tomorrow who the new chair is. for me, what is more important is what they are going to do. the new chair of the republican party needs to do two things off the bat. we have to fix this hard money gap between canada's. we had some of our u.s. senate candidates in 2022 being outspent three to one. that has to get fixed if republicans are going to compete. the second thing the chair needs to do no matter who it is a

it's not the only leadership election the republican part ly has to pick a new chairman of the rnc, harmeethillon,as is running. sh re joinunni s us t o explain her plan to bring the party together. if you don't think you so much ,i have to say my firste you question is maybe don't wantdo to answer. you don't want to be divisive. you want to talk about uniting w the party and everything. but i don't understand why republicans seem to have thiss instinct to reward failure and mediocrity. nothing against the current occupant of that office. , ho it seems like a fine person. but given the record, how could anybody how could any rnc member for a moment consider supporting that person? >>id againer, i don't understand it. well, thank you, tucker.arthy i mean, one thing that kevin mccarthy has going for him actually , is that heyears hasn't failed foasr the last six years as the speaker of the house. i mean, that's something that he has in his column.r th and i can't sae y the same for,' the incumbent at the rnc. she's a nicebut person.over but over the last six years,sene we've lost the house, t

he complimented harmeet dhillon. harmeet dhillon later said to reporters, she doesn't think this constitute as an endorsement but if you go to her campaign paid for rnc chair, that video is featured prominently on there. we will see whether or not there is enough for a last-minute boost, her campaign website in the days just before the interview had suggested she had 29 official endorsements from parties chairs and rnc committee members on a website. it says that the partial list but we will see if it shakes up the dynamic today. >> host: after this vote takes place, what happens within the rnc? how do they move forward and ins fight? will it have lasting impact? >> guest: that's a great question. in terms of moving forward, i think that this is sort of an example of the intraparty divisions were saying on display among republicans. just a few weeks ago we saw 15 votes a in the house just to voe on and elect a house speaker. the house speaker, mccarthy, was eventually elected. we saw this intraparty division and thes
