RNC Chairman Joe Gruters declares determination to propel President through to triumph in midterm elections

Newly-Elected RNC Chair Joe Gruters Emphasizes Focus on President Trump

Joe Gruters, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, has been elected as the new chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). Gruters' ascension to the RNC chair is the latest sign of Trump's control over the national party committee.

Gruters served as the RNC's treasurer before becoming chair and has been a major Trump supporter since the president's first campaign for the White House. Trump endorsed Gruters to succeed Michael Whatley as RNC chair, who stepped down to run for the Senate in North Carolina.

Gruters highlighted the GOP-crafted domestic policy bill passed by Congress this summer as a key achievement. The bill, signed by Trump, includes tax cuts, immigration reform, defense spending, energy policies, and changes to the debt limit. The bill provides billions for border security and codifies the president's immigration crackdown. It also extends the president's signature 2017 tax cuts and eliminates taxes on tips and overtime pay. According to analysis, the bill will cut taxes by nearly $4.4 trillion over the next decade.

The bill's changes to Medicaid and cuts to food stamps were drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump's tax cuts. The bill restructures Medicaid and includes new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many seeking Medicaid coverage. Gruters sees the new law as a campaign tool, arguing that every Democrat in Congress voted for a tax increase on average everyday Americans.

Gruters emphasized that the RNC's strategy going forward is to focus on President Trump. He aims to win over voter groups by expanding the grassroots Republican base, flipping voter registration advantages previously held by Democrats, and continuing the successful strategies that turned Florida from a purple to a red state. His focus is on strengthening the party to expand its majority in the House and Senate in the 2025 midterm elections.

Election integrity, winning the midterms, and voter registration are Gruters' top priorities as RNC chair. The Democratic National Committee criticized Joe Gruters following his election as RNC chair. The RNC summer meeting was held in Atlanta, Georgia.

Gruters' move to the RNC chairmanship cements Trump's dominance over the GOP. The GOP domestic policy bill, signed by Trump, is a testament to the president's influence over the party's direction. As the new RNC chair, Gruters is poised to lead the party in a direction that aligns closely with Trump's policies and priorities.
