This podcast episode explores the recent shakeup at the Republican National Committee (RNC) under the leadership of former President Donald Trump. Trump has made significant changes to the RNC, including replacing the chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, with Michael Watley, a strong Trump ally, and appointing his daughter-in-law, Laura Trump, as co-chair. These changes have resulted in mass layoffs and have been described as a "bloodbath" and a "top-to-bottom housecleaning." Trump's actions are seen as an attempt to improve the party's infrastructure and fundraising capabilities in order to compete with President Biden's advantages in the upcoming election. However, the shakeup raises concerns about disruption to ongoing work, the loss of experienced staff, and the unusual integration of family members into high-level positions in the party.
