The Morning Briefing: Choose Your Weapon Wisely—It’s Judgement Day at the RNC

Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Hortense couldn’t live down the embarrassment of accidentally serving a batch of Metamucil mimosas the last time she hosted the cul-de-sac brunch.

By the end of today — maybe by the time you read this — we will know if the Republican National Committee (RNC) wants to get back to the business of winning elections or if it wants to leg hump the status quo because that’s what makes the D.C. types comfortable.

There has been a lot of chatter about Ronna McDaniel having her re-election locked up. She’s facing formidable challenges from Harmeet Dhillon and — I kid you not — MyPillow Mike Lindell. Old Guard Republicans inside the Beltway redefine “entrenched,” so it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see McDaniel getting another term to complete her mission of running the RNC into the ground and the Republican Party into permanent minority party status.

It’s always difficult to tell how these RNC votes will go. The College of Cardinals is more transparent when they gather for a papal conclave.
