'Last time I checked I wasn’t running for president': RNC chair slams party 'circular firing squad'

Days after 2024 GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy slammed Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel on the Miami debate stage following major GOP election losses Tuesday, CNN's Dana Bash spoke with McDaniel on Sunday's episode of State of the Union.

Noting Ramaswamy "did double down," Bash asked McDaniel for her response to his recent tweet stating "he wants an interim chair to take over until the next RNC meeting in January."

She replied, "Well last I checked I wasn't running for president. He's at 4%. He's looking for headlines. I think what Republicans really want to hear from our candidates right now in terms of headlines is how are we going to take on [President] Joe Biden, the border, crime, fentanyl, restore our kids' education, what's happening with Israel. There are so many things that Republican voters, Democratic voters, independent voters, want to hear from our candidates. So, he can do that, that's okay."

She continued, "But I will continue to say to everyone we should be taking on Democrats, not each other. This circular firing squad, this attacking other Republicans, like we saw with [ex-House Speaker] Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), like we've been seeing over and over again, it is hurting us, and we have a map in 2024 where we can win the White House, take back the senate, and win the House."
