RNC Chair Whatley Outlines GOP Strategy Following Trump's 2024 Victory

Michael Whatley, re-elected as RNC chair, pledges to solidify Republican gains and support President-elect Trump's agenda ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Michael Whatley was unanimously re-elected as RNC chair during the committee's winter meeting in Washington, D.C.
Whatley emphasized the importance of converting Trump voters into long-term Republican supporters to maintain GOP momentum.
Republicans secured major victories in the 2024 elections, reclaiming the White House, flipping the Senate, and retaining a narrow House majority.
The RNC plans to focus on voter registration, outreach to new communities, and lessons learned from the 2024 cycle to prepare for the 2026 midterms.
Whatley highlighted the inclusion of former Democrats Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard in Trump's cabinet as evidence of a 'commonsense' Republican agenda.
