Michael Whatley and Lara Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/new-rnc-zeroes-election-integrity-hires-trump-ally\/story?id=108116724\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">took over the top spots<\/a>, with a cascade of other Trump affiliates being announced for positions throughout the organization. <\/p>\n<p>This news was well received among the president\u2019s supporters, many of whom saw the former RNC as an enforcement arm of the D.C. establishment, solidifying it while undermining his return to power. Reporting on the personnel change-up was quickly followed by an announcement that there would be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/03\/12\/politics\/rnc-trump-takeover-lawyers-election\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shift in focus<\/a> at the RNC to election integrity. These changes at the RNC and other organizations signal that two broader principles of a more focused MAGA movement are being put into action: Personnel <em>is<\/em> <em>policy<\/em>, and election fraud is a real threat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-902131702\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-67bd145fd40d1eb583e866170b0ac2a9 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-67bd145fd40d1eb583e866170b0ac2a9\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personnel Is Policy<\/h2>\n<p>When Trump was first elected in 2016, there was a scramble between fresh blood and right-wing activists who wanted to see the America First agenda fulfilled and then the D.C. establishment to fill spots in the Trump administration. The establishment maintained some control of personnel placement at the RNC and other organizations, which ended up steering staff placement in the new administration in a way that crippled the America First policy agenda for years. <\/p>\n<p>It was only in the fourth year of Trump\u2019s term, when he brought on a new team of loyalists in his Presidential Personnel Office (PPO), that detractors began to be identified, removed, and replaced with other Trump loyalists who would diligently carry out his policy agenda. It was under the new PPO that I was brought into the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>Part of my job was to conduct interviews to vet and hire new appointees and to replace those who didn\u2019t meet standards.

The effectiveness of these methods was evident in the uproar they caused among appointees who should not have been there in the first place. Had there been a second term in 2021, the strategy for personnel changes would have allowed for much more effective implementation of the president\u2019s policy agenda. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-ca5b39f09ee9a709b5fc87b01feb9e5e fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-ca5b39f09ee9a709b5fc87b01feb9e5e\"><\/div>\n<p>The recent staff changes at the RNC show continuity on Trump\u2019s part in recognizing that personnel is policy and that he will take action to get the right people into the right places to prevent subversive staff from crippling the policy agenda that the American people want carried out leading into 2025.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making Election Integrity a Top Priority<\/h2>\n<p>The old RNC leadership\u2019s attitude toward election fraud was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/mar\/25\/republican-national-committee-chair-ronna-mcdaniel-biden-2020-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ambiguous<\/a> at best. The new leadership at the RNC knows that for Trump to win in 2025, the RNC must be staffed up with people who aren\u2019t afraid to say that election fraud and irregularities exist and will work with zeal to prevent it from happening in November. They are making the right move in using<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/rnc-staffers-and-new-hires-asked-whether-they-believe-the-2020-election-was-stolen\/ar-BB1kB922\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> more effective vetting<\/a> techniques and screening current and prospective employees for whether they see election fraud as a problem. <\/p>\n<p>Personnel implements policy, and if the organization working to get Trump elected is filled with personnel who have disdain for anyone who doesn\u2019t parrot talking points about 2020 being <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/top-officials-elections-most-secure-66f9361084ccbc461e3bbf42861057a5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cthe most secure election in history,\u201d<\/a> one can see how a disconnect could exist between the work that needs to be done and implementation of that work. Far too many people get hired or have jobs they shouldn\u2019t simply because they know a donor and\/or they have moved up a ladder they wouldn\u2019t have been on at all if they were being vetted for their worldview or compatibility with the America First agenda. This, combined with a lack of willpower in management to fire subversive personnel, creates rampant dysfunction for any reform efforts in Washington. <\/p>\n<p>However, the new leadership at the RNC is showing they are willing to get their hands dirty and make some bold changes to get more effective and aligned people into the places they need to be to secure a Trump win.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-ff6f6664e09c24ca6252e17822649367 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-ff6f6664e09c24ca6252e17822649367\"><\/div>\n<p>Other Republican gatekeepers need to take the RNC\u2019s lead and vet current and prospective employees for compatibility with Trump\u2019s agenda, or there will not be lasting opposition to establishment control of our elections and the broader policy agenda in the United States. Current staff in every branch of government, Trump-friendly think tanks, and adjacent organizations like the RNC should be doubling down on election integrity leading into the election in 2025. <\/p>\n<p>If those currently holding positions of authority in these organizations don\u2019t think it is feasible that there was election fraud in 2020, they should be removed from their position and replaced with someone serious. That is what just happened when Ronna McDaniel was replaced with Michael Whatley at the RNC. This is how we win in November and how we keep winning in the future. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-8d66d77817a7ea01a5bd73e7ab2dca58 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-8d66d77817a7ea01a5bd73e7ab2dca58\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republican National Committee (RNC) saw significant staff changes last month, with Michael Whatley and Lara Trump assuming key positions.
