Party leaders gathered here over the weekend for the Republican National Committee‘s spring meeting are hopeful new co-chair Lara Trump, with her famous last name and media presence, can fix the organization’s fundraising struggles.
Ms. Trump, a former news anchor who is GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump‘s daughter-in-law, and Trump loyalist Michael Whatley were elected Friday to replace longtime RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, completing the former president’s takeover of the group.
RNC members who lined up to meet her for the first time at a reception one day before Friday’s election were optimistic the former Fox News contributor and producer can attract the big-dollar donors needed to fuel her father-in-law’s presidential bid.
