| − | Calling herself "a suburban mom," McDaniel criticized the strongly [[pro-life]] part of the [[Republican Party]] in her parting remarks when she was replaced on March 8, 2024. Instead, she urged an emphasis on “exceptions and reasonable limitations when a baby feels pain,” while opposing the [[Dem]] position of “no exceptions, no limits, not even when a baby feels pain.”<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/08/ronna-mcdaniel-rnc-abortion-00146044#:~:text=Ronna%20McDaniel%2C%20the%20outgoing%20chair,voters%20if%20they%20don't.</ref> | + | Calling herself "a suburban mom," McDaniel criticized the strongly [[pro-life]] part of the [[Republican Party]] in her parting remarks when she was replaced on March 8, 2024.<ref name="P">https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/08/ronna-mcdaniel-rnc-abortion-00146044#:~:text=Ronna%20McDaniel%2C%20the%20outgoing%20chair,voters%20if%20they%20don't.</ref> Instead, she urged an emphasis on “exceptions and reasonable limitations when a baby feels pain,” while opposing the [[Dem]] position of “no exceptions, no limits, not even when a baby feels pain.”<ref name="P"/> |

| | She was criticized for failing to get-out-the-vote with any meaningful [[grassroots]] effort in November 2022, resulting in disappointing election outcomes for the [[Republican Party]]. The perception of "business as usual" by McDaniel against sophisticated [[ballot harvesting]] by [[Dems]] led to a spirited, and nearly successful, effort by outsider Harmeet Dhillon to pull a surprise upset against McDaniel's reelection. The continued reliance by archaic [[Republican National Committee]] leadership on high-paid consultants, television advertising without effect, meaningless [[Fox News Channel]] appearances, and a lack of real "boots on the ground" is frustrating many [[conservatives]]. | | She was criticized for failing to get-out-the-vote with any meaningful [[grassroots]] effort in November 2022, resulting in disappointing election outcomes for the [[Republican Party]].
