Ronna McDaniel recently stepped down as head of the RNC. This happened after months of criticism and scandal. Donald Trump claimed McDaniel was opposed to his campaign, refusing to help. And others claimed she was squandering GOP funds, instead of using them to win elections.
Outrage grew to the point of forcing her and her staff out of their jobs. New leadership, including Trump’s daughter-in-law, is now running the RNC.
Now, the Republican chairman in Nebraska is revealing a shocking episode between himself and McDaniel. He was championing a plan to change the way the state awards electoral votes. When he asked for McDaniel’s help, she did this.
From The Post Millennial:
On Wednesday, Nebraska GOP Chairman Eric Underwood claimed that when he went to Ronna McDaniel asking for help to change the state’s laws to potentially help Donald Trump secure more electoral college votes, she essentially brushed him off…I even went to the RNC last year, Charlie,” Underwood explained. “I had a meeting with Ronna McDaniel and said ‘I think this is something that is going to happen … but I need outside help,’ and I was basically told that it wasn’t much of an importance.”
Eric Underwood, the GOP Chairman in Nebraska, revealed that Ronna McDaniel refused to help him change the state’s electoral laws. The state currently does not have a “winner-take-all” approach to awarding electoral college votes. Most states have this policy, meaning the candidate that wins the most votes gets all the electoral votes.
Underwood was seeking help from the RNC to change Nebraska’s policy. This could have amounted to a ballot measure or cooperation with state lawmakers. Instead, McDaniel claimed this was important—despite how it affected the presidential election.
Charlie Kirk pointed out that this change could help secure Trump’s 2024 victory.
Suppose Donald Trump flips Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada next fall, as current polls all show him doing. Would he win the presidency? Not quite. In fact, if Trump flips those three states and no others, he loses by exactly ONE electoral vote.
Why? Nebraska.
Despite being one of…

Under the current state law, there is a chance at least one of Nebraska’s electoral votes could go to Joe Biden—depriving Trump of a victory. For some reason, McDaniel did not care enough to help change this law.
You need to remember that the leaders of the DNC work overtime to secure election victories for their candidates. That’s the point of these committees. Yet McDaniel seemed more concerned with elevating her platform—and buying flowers for parties—than winning elections.
Key Takeaways:
- GOP Chairman of Nebraska claimed Ronna McDaniel did not help change state electoral laws.
- The head of the RNC said it was not an important issue, despite affecting the presidential election.
- McDaniel was forced out of her position, after years of controversy.
