“Some Republican National Committee (RNC) officials didn’t vote for then-President Trump in last November’s election, according to a forthcoming book by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender. And excerpts from ‘Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost,’ exclusively obtained by Fox News also spotlight the alleged friction between RNC chair Ronna McDaniel and Bill Stepien, who took over as Trump reelection campaign manager last summer… Bender wrote that under Stepien ‘Ronna was often left on the outside looking in – sometimes literally. In June, she had arrived at the White House for a political meeting, but waited in the lobby for more than an hour before she was brought into the Oval. When she walked in, the president asked why she was so late. ‘They don’t want me sitting in the meetings with you,’ Ronna told him.’ ‘The president’s handling of Covid and the White House’s treatment of Ronna had top staffers inside the RNC openly musing – for the first time in their lives – about not voting for the Republican nominee for president. Ultimately, some did not cast their Election Day ballot for Trump.'”

“Bender charged that the creation of WinRed – the exclusive online fundraising program used this past cycle by the Trump campaign, the RNC, and down ballot GOP campaigns to compete with the Democrats very successful ActBlue operation – ‘exposed tensions at the highest level of Trump World that finally exploded into an intense argument between Ronna and Jared inside the Trump Hotel.’ According to the excerpts, ‘Jared didn’t think the RNC could pull off the new operation and considered doing it himself.’ And Bender claimed that McDaniel ‘viewed the WinRed deal as a legacy project that could benefit the party for years to come. Keeping the new company as a nonprofit, she told Jared, would make sure it remained as an arm of the RNC.’ Bender alleged that ‘Jared wasn’t interested. ‘I don’t give a fuck about the future of the Republican Party!’ he told Ronna inside the hotel meeting room'” – Fox News.
