The Republican National Committee’s newly-appointed management team is determined to do everything possible to secure a victory for Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Michael Whatley, the RNC’s new chairman, has stated that the party will utilize all resources to support Trump’s presidential campaign. This includes promoting the “Bank Your Vote” initiative, which is designed to educate Republican voters on the importance of casting their votes early through mail-in ballots, as reported by The Epoch Times. Whatley took over the position of chairman from former chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who was a strong advocate for the “Bank Your Vote” campaign. This campaign aimed to maximize early voting opportunities by promoting in-person early voting, absentee voting, and legally permissible ballot harvesting.

“To beat Joe Biden and the Democrats in 2024, we must ensure that Republicans bank as many pre-Election Day votes as possible,” McDaniel said in June 2023, when the early voting campaign was rolled out, the outlet reported.. “Banking votes early needs to be the focus of every single Republican campaign in the country, and the Republican National Committee will lead the charge.”

Republican voters objected to the proposal, pointing out that party leaders had previously advocated for same-day voting to uphold integrity. However, the RNC faces a challenge in various states, including battlegrounds, where early and mail-in voting have become the norm. Therefore, the strategy now is for the GOP to compete with Democrats on their own terms.

Following his appointment, Whatley stressed his dedication to improving RNC initiatives that focus on both in-person and absentee early voting, along with legal ballot harvesting endeavors.

“Despite what you may have heard, we are not closing community centers,” the RNC boss wrote in a memo to party staff, per NPR. “We are aggressively pursuing programs to grow our base and maximize opportunities to engage with Americans, utilizing all existing tools for our voters to cast ballots.”

He also said the “Bank Your Vote” campaign would “continue educating and empowering voters to feel confident in early voting and voting by mail.”

“Every tool that the other side has used, we need to wield for ourselves,” Whatley wrote. “We will strive relentlessly towards historic accomplishments and fully modernizing the organization between now and Election Day.”

In the meantime, Lara Trump, the new co-chair of the RNC, revealed that the Republican National Committee achieved an unprecedented fundraising success just one week into her new role.

“I am proud to announce that last weekend the GOP had the largest digital fundraising weekend since 2020. Much more to come…we are just getting started!” former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law wrote on the X platform.

Trump failed to disclose any fundraising figures, however, this development is undeniably positive for the RNC, which is facing financial constraints following the extravagant spending by former Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and the limited Republican successes under her leadership.

In an interview with Newsmax TV, Lara added: “I think the change in leadership at the RNC has really inspired a lot of people to give. People are very confident in the team. I personally wrote an email this morning to send out to people all across this country asking for donations.”

“People understand this is a must-win election, and I think they’re very confident in the team we now have between myself as co-chair and Michael Whatley as chairman,” she added, noting further that during the previous 36 hours, she had received “multiple phone calls” from people wanting to “max out” their donations.
