Outgoing RepLeeZeldin weighs RNC chairman bid with help from realDonaldTrump allies
Zeldin had loosely mulled running for RNC chairman since just after the midterm elections, when some Republicans impressed with his strong, albeit losing, campaign for New York governor began encouraging him to challenge McDaniel. This week, the congressman formalized his consideration process by tapping a coterie of eight GOP insiders to assist with whipping support among RNC voting members and ascertaining if there is a path to ousting the incumbent chairwoman.
“He continues to speak with members of the RNC regarding the best path forward to retool, transform, and reenergize the party to take back the White House and win control of both houses of congress in 2024,” Morgenstern added.Zeldin’s RNC exploration advisory team has ties to former President Donald Trump, for years a fixture of New York politics and society before decamping to Florida after winning the White House in 2016.
Zeldin waged a spirited challenge to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul before falling 52.9% to 47.1%. But his robust performance in a deep blue state that last sent a Republican to the governor’s mansion two decades ago is credited with creating tailwinds that swept the GOP to a pickup of four House seats. Given the narrow margin of the GOP’s incoming House majority, there’s an argument it might not exist without Zeldin.
“With Ronna McDaniel at the helm, Republicans will be in the best position to keep the House, take back the Senate and elect the next president of the United States,” Priebus wrote in a previously publicized letter to RNC members.
