And the fight between GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel ratchets up.
Ramaswamy Denies Claim by RNC Chair McDaniel That He Voted for Obama
‘I’ve never voted for Obama in my life,’ Mr. Ramaswamy said.
Reports the Times:
“GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has denied claims made by Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Ronna McDaniel that he voted for former Democratic President Barack Obama.
The Ohio entrepreneur took to social media to accuse Ms. McDaniel of “flat-out lying” and reiterated his call for her resignation.
He repeated online anonymous claims that the RNC chair had allegedly vowed not to give “one cent” to his campaign after he criticized her during the third GOP debate held on Wednesday.
‘I’ve never voted for Obama in my life,’ Mr. Ramaswamy told Fox News on Thursday. ‘So, for a chair of the RNC to be saying that on national television, is malpractice.’
The RNC, in response to inquiries, directed The Epoch Times to a statement denying Ms. McDaniel’s reported remarks about withholding financial support for Ramaswamy’s campaign.
At the third GOP debate in Miami on Wednesday, one day after the Nov. 7 off-year elections that saw Democrats gain ground in key elections, Mr. Ramaswamy said the GOP had become a “party of losers.” He attributed the blame to the Republican establishment and called on Ms. McDaniel to resign.
‘For that matter, Ronna, if you want to come on stage tonight, you want to look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will turn over [and] yield my time to you.’”
The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays approach, a time when Americans turn their attention away from politics. But it is probably safe to assume that when the New Year rolls in and the 2024 election becomes front and center that the Ramaswamy versus McDaniel fight will rev up again.
Stay tuned.
