The duo implemented many significant policy changes in the RNC to ensure Donald Trump was victorious in the 2024 presidential election. One of the main objectives was to revamp the RNC &ldquo;get out the vote&rdquo; efforts, an operation that many said grew stagnant under McDaniel&rsquo;s watch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lara Trump and Whatley also focused on increasing GOP fundraising, which lagged in McDaniel&rsquo;s final months. In February, the last full month McDaniel was in charge of the RNC, the organization hauled in only $10.6 million in donations. Those numbers increased to $65.6 million by March and to $76 million in April, according to the <em>Associated Press<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Under Lara Trump&rsquo;s leadership with Whatley, Republicans defied expectations and many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-independents-consistent-on-key-issue-while-democrats-views-change-based-on-who-benefits-poll\/\" title=\"Republicans, Independents Consistent On Key Issue While Democrats\u2019 Views Change Based On Who Benefits: Poll\">political polls<\/a> in the 2024 election. Donald Trump was victorious over Vice President Kamala Harris, the Republicans won the majority in the Senate, and the GOP remained in control of the House. When McDaniel was replaced in February 2024, many <a href=\"https:\/\/poll.qu.edu\/poll-release?releaseid=3890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">polls<\/a> showed Donald Trump trailing President Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee at the time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After Harris replaced Biden as the nominee, the President-elect&rsquo;s daughter-in-law was one of the first people to predict that the hype surrounding Harris&rsquo;s candidacy would fade quickly. She called the enthusiasm over Harris&rsquo;s campaign &ldquo;smoke in mirrors.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This whole thing has been smoke and mirrors, and it&rsquo;s the same folks in the mainstream media, by the way,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3123763\/lara-trump-predicts-harris-shine-wear-off-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">she told Fox News host Laura Ingraham in August<\/a>. &ldquo;I will remind everyone who a few months ago, were suggesting that maybe Joe Biden wanted to choose a new running mate.
