Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy launched the website FireRonna.com after criticizing RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel during the third GOP debate.
“Should RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel be fired?” the petition asks.
“I am sick & tired of this Republican Establishment that has made us a party of losers. Where is the accountability for years of losing: 2018, 2020, 2022 and now 2023,” Ramaswamy said in a statement. “A week ago on the GOP Debate stage, I called on Ronna Romney McDaniel to resign. Now, I’m asking grassroots conservatives across the nation to join me so she can feel the power of the people. It’s time to stop the culture of surrender and losing. Resign, Ronna. Add your name to the list http://FireRonna.com.”
In a statement to The New York Post, RNC spokesperson Emma Vaughn said, “The RNC is focused on firing Joe Biden. If Republicans would like to help with that, visit bankyourvote.com.”
During the third GOP debate, hosted by NBC, Ramaswamy called for the resignation of McDaniel.
“We’ve become a party of losers,” Ramaswamy began, adding, “Let’s speak the truth. Since Ronna McDaniel took over as Chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022-no red wave that never came…”
“Ronna, if you want to come on stage tonight, you want to look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will yield my time to you,” he stated.
In response to the situation, McDaniel told Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney, “He’s at 4%. He needs a headline.”
“The RNC doesn’t do state races, we’re a federal committee. So we weren’t involved in those races on Tuesday. I know that Vivek is kind of newer to the party — he voted for Obama — so he may not know that,” she said.
