Trump says he’ll make 'changes' to RNC soon — minutes after meeting with committee chair
The New York Times reported last week that the Republican National Committee marked "its worst fundraising year in roughly three decades," with its "latest financial filing showed just $8 million in cash and $1.8 million in debt heading into a presidential election."
According to a Monday, February 5 Politico report, former President Donald Trump met with RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel at his Mar-a-Lago residence, a day after he said "changes' will likely be made soon.
Per the report, Trump took to Truth Social following his meeting with McDaniel writing that the RNC chair is his "friend," but emphasized he plans to call "for changes to the committee following the South Carolina GOP primary on Feb. 24."

Politico reports the ex-president said during a Sunday, February 5 Fox News interview, "I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me. I think she did OK, initially, in the RNC. I would say right now, there’ll probably be some changes made."
Additionally, the news outlet notes, "McDaniel is the longest-serving RNC chair in modern history, having held the position since 2017. But over the last year she has come under criticism from conservative activists — namely those from the pro-Trump group Turning Point USA — who regard her as too aligned with the party establishment. Last year, she faced opposition in her reelection bid from Harmeet Dhillon, a California RNC committee member who was bolstered by Turning Point USA."
