Lara Trump calls for RNC's singular focus on Donald Trump's presidency

In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Lara Trump expressed her belief that the RNC's primary goal should be to ensure the election of Donald J Trump as the 47th President of the United States.



 

She stated, “And I will tell you what the RNC should have one goal and one focus and that is ensuring that the leader of the Republican Party, Donald J Trump is elected as the 47th President of the United States and we are able to save this country."

"Here's what I can assure you, any person walking into the door of the RNC with any other goal in mind will be shown the door, if I were elected to this position as co-chair of the RNC."

This statement has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with users expressing concerns about the perceived narrowing of the party's objectives and the potential implications for a broader representation of interests within the GOP.

While Donald Trump's recommendations for leadership changes, including proposing Michael Whatley for RNC Chair, have been seen as part of his efforts to solidify control over the party, Lara Trump's remarks have intensified debates about the party's direction and priorities.
