On Friday, Lara Trump was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). Her victory comes just a few weeks after former President Trump (her father-in-law) suggested she’d be perfect for the role.
Another Trump-favored politician, North Carolina Republican Michael Whatley, became the organization’s national Chairman.
According to CBS, Lara Trump is expected to focus largely on fundraising and media appearances.

Before her election, Lara said that she had one priority if elected: “Every single penny will go to the number one and the only job of the RNC — that is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States and saving this country.”
At the RNC’s election results event in Houston on Friday, Lara made a big deal of waving a $100,000 check in the air. She wanted to people to see proof she had already started fundraising.
Many believe that with MAGA loyalists in charge, the RNC is likely to divert much of its funding normally allocated to Republican candidates directly to Donald Trump’s campaign.
$100k won’t even pay for an hour of all Trump’s lawyers. 🍿🍿🍿
Yesterday, Lara Trump appeared on Fox News to again emphasize how things will change at the RNC.
“I can guarantee you, over the next 8 months, you’re going to see things happen at the RNC unlike you have ever seen before.”

Although Lara may have meant this as a statement of ambition, many others saw it as something else. It sounded more like a pledge from the Trump family to keep grifting.
Lara Trump’s victory was, predictably, welcomed by MAGA diehards. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene praised her as “smart, talented” and “MAGA since the beginning.”
Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert was also quick to ingratiate herself. She posted a photo of herself to X/Twitter alongside Lara and her husband Eric Trump.
Facing a tough re-election battle in Colorado’s District 3, Boebert announced in December that she was switching to the safe seat of District 4 for the November 2024 election. However, there’s no guarantee she will win the Republican primary and end up on the ballot. Many pointed out that she should drop any hopes of generous funding from the RNC.
Well Lauren, I'm thinking you'll find that the RNC won't be spending any money on your campaign. Good luck with that.
Lara Trump was introduced Friday as new co-chair of the Republican National Committee.

Republicans deserve to have their money syphoned off the by the Trump family. The entire family are just hate and greed driven, lying, cheating, stealing trolls. But then again, that describes all conservatives.
He will not win the popular vote which is the only sort of election we should be having. He lost the popular vote in the last two general elections. But he’s dumb so it will never sink in.
With all the money going to pay for Trump’s lawyers, fines and lawsuits, it’ll leave less money for his campaign and the campaign of Senators and Representative. Thank you Trump, you’re going to cost the Republicans the election and THE WHOLE WORLD THANKS YOU.
What Idiot Backed Trump’s Bond in E. Jean Carroll Trial? This One.
Good luck to this man.
The New Republic
Donald Trump raised a lot of eyebrows on Friday when he finally posted bond for E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit against him, amid reports that the former president is broke.
Trump posted a $91.6 million bond, which covers the $83.3 million he was ordered to pay in damages for defaming Carroll and interest for putting off payment for so long. He had repeatedly tried to get the deadline to pay delayed or get the total ruling amount reduced, but the presiding judge struck him down every time.
It turns out that Trump may have called in a major favor: Court records filed Friday show that the bond was guaranteed by the Chubb Corporation, an insurance group. In 2018, Trump appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations.
What will MAGA Republicans become? My vote is we start calling them the ‘Natchi’ party. Short for ‘Nationalist Christian Party’, since all they are is a collection of greedy oligarchs profiting in the short term from supporting the white nationalists and ‘christian’ extremists who make up the rest of the party…
Lara Trump is a see you next Tuesday. She’s going to steal from this organization just her moron husband stole from a charity for kids with cancer. The Trumps are total trash.

And if Trump gets enough votes to be elected, or again selected, then the folks of the U. S. deserve to get what he do to them.

She just had to let us know that the RNC is still in on the grift.

More alternative facts. She even looks like Kellyanne Conwoman…..

Good idea Josh. Let’s make it Natchi party. They’re old but not grand.

I’m guessing donations will drop to the RNC. I’m also guessing she will be indicted for breaking campaign finance laws.

That’s how stupid this family is.
