"We’ve become a party of losers at the end of the day,” Vivek said. He demanded that Ronna resign on stage.

“I think there is something deeper going on in the Republican party here, and I am upset about what happened last night,” he said, before his “cancer” remark. “Let’s speak the truth. Since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022no red wave that never came.”

“We got trounced last night in 2023, and I think we have to have accountability in our party,” Vivek added, before asking Ronnaon the debate stage to resign.

Posting a clip of this part of the debate, Vivek wrote on X, “I’m sick and 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 last night? I’m calling on @GOPChairwoman to resign tonight.”

In January this year, Ronnawas elected to a fourth consecutive term after she won the support of about two-thirds of the RNC members. Former president Donald Trump backed Ronna when she first ran for party chair back in 2017. However, in the race for RNC chair, Trump remained neutral, saying Ronna and Harmeet Dhillon must “fight it out.”
