RNC Headquarters Evacuation Due to Suspicious Package

RNC headquarters in Washington, DC, evacuated after two vials of blood were sent; Chair Michael Whatley stands firm in mission despite 'biological attack'.

Intra-party conflict within the Republican Party

The newly installed chairman of the Republican National Committee is backing down from his pledge to spend every day in 2024 electing Donald Trump, instead focusing on saving House Speaker Mike Johnson. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is moving forward with a vote to vacate Johnson due to his betrayals, but Democrats plan to save him from ouster. RNC co-chair Michael Whatley is involved in the situation, urging party unity and supporting Johnson, which goes against his initial pledges.

Republican National Committee Leadership Change

Michael Whatley was unanimously elected as the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, with Lara Trump as the new RNC co-chair. The election was largely pre-determined, with Whatley being the only candidate running for chair. The transition was supported by outgoing chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and former president Donald Trump.
