McDaniel spoke at the RNC’s winter meeting in Las Vegas behind closed doors on Friday, addressing a gathering of state chairmen and other top party members in what’s expected to be a critical swing state in the November election.
“We Republicans will stick together, as united as the union our party long ago fought to preserve,” McDaniel said, quoting Ronald Reagan, according to people who were in the room and disclosed her remarks on condition of anonymity to discuss a private gathering. “We’ll have our battles ahead of us, but they’re good battles, and they’re worth fighting for.”
McDaniel’s appeal for unity comes as former President Donald Trump and his allies push the party to get behind him and effectively end the primary even though he still faces a final major rival, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. While McDaniel has fought off opponents before, winning a competitive race for a fourth term as chairwoman last year, she’s now facing Trump supporters on the far right who are creating parallel efforts that could conflict with the national party.

Lauren Boebert: Hold my vape.
If the phrase “Hold my vape” takes off I might actually be motivated to quit vaping. (I know I should anyways but I’d rather not die of embarrassment first.)
They didn’t have vapes when I quit smoking and people do tell me it’s helped them quit, but considering all the flavors of vape juice out there, I’d probably have ended up vaping more than I ever smoked because it tasted so good.
if nothing else, they’re a hell of a lot cheaper than smokes are.
I quit back in 2000 when you could get GPCs for like $1.50 a pack if you were desperate enough for shitty cigarettes, so that wasn’t the problem at the time. But that would also definitely make me vape more if that were the case back then.
It definitely helped me quit. It’s easy enough to reduce the amount of nicotine you’re consuming gradually, then when you do stop it’s not as dramatic of a change for your body. I did vape more than I smoked because it’s delicious and very easy to just keep hitting it without really thinking.
That makes sense. I was able to quit because where I worked, literally everyone smoked. The whole office was a cloud of smoke. So I got a ton of it second-hand. It still wasn’t easy to quit, but I am absolutely sure that was how I was able to do it.
the party of lincoln and the modern republican party are as similar as black and white.
And they’re currently supporting the governor of Texas who is fomenting the idea of secession. So I guess they are as united as they want the union to be…
“… And then we’ll make the country look just the the Confederacy our party long ago fought.”
