Mike Lindell, of MyPillow fame, has risked his fortune in his quest to secure freedom and fair elections.
Due to his convictions, Lindell has been blacklisted by Big Media and establishment Republicans.
But now the Founder and CEO of MyPillow is teasing future plans that have the RINOs running the GOP running scared.
The Republican Party is still trying to figure out why they didn’t deliver better results in the 2022 Midterm elections.
However, in the weeks since election day, they’ve shown little to no willingness to change.
Many conservatives have called for changes in GOP leadership following the Midterm disappointments, including the base of the Party.
A new Trafalgar poll found 71.6% of Americans believe Republicans need a new leadership team following the results of the 2022 Midterm elections.
But do GOP voters feel the same about new leadership for their party as the country as a whole?
Actually, even more so.
In fact, 73.4% of Republican voters want their party to freshen things up with new blood in its top positions.
“Even before the election our polling showed voters supported Republican policies but doubted Republican leadership,” said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States, who commissioned the survey. “And now, after the underperformance of Republican candidates in the Midterms, that doubt appears to have deepened.”
Republican voters are MUCH more likely to blame Republican Leadership than Donald Trump for November's disappointing results.https://t.co/zXsC9R117J@LeaderMcConnell@GOPLeader@GOPChairwoman@realdonaldtrump

Meanwhile, in a recent Rasmussen survey, just 16% of conservatives blame individual candidates for 2022 shortcomings.
Another 20% blamed Trump.
But more than twice that, a clear plurality of 43% say the fault lies with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Republican National Committee Chair Rona McDaniel.
But, the GOP isn’t listening to its base.
In preliminary voting, both McConnell and McCarthy have been appointed back to their respective positions in leadership – and by huge numbers, with only about a third of the caucus voting against each of them.
And McDaneil has said she will run for another term as head of the RNC, and is currently rumored on the beltway to have lined up strong support behind her.
However, McDaniel may have stiff competition.
MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell is now saying he wants to be the new head of the RNC.
“One of the things I will tell you, [we] will never, ever stop to get rid of these machines and make this the best elections in world history in our country,” Lindell said during his “Frank TV” livestream. “We need someone, everybody, and I would step into that, God willing.”
Lindell also told National File that Republicans “need someone who knows how to run a business to lead one of the most important organizations in our country.”
And Lindell isn’t the only one considering a challenge to McDaniel.
New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin is “seriously considering” running for RNC chair – and he’s receiving a lot of support towards that role.
“It is time for our Party to retool, transform, win back the Presidency in 2024, expand our number of Republican held seats in Congress, and elect the maximum number of down ballot races across the country,” Zeldin said in an email he sent to RNC members. “The Republican Party needs to be all in to do everything in its power to save America.”
According to Politico, Zeldin has been fielding calls from elected officials and activists who have urged him to run for chair of the Party.
This past cycle, Zeldin ran a strong campaign against incumbent New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul – losing by just 5.5-points.
To give an idea of scope, in 2018, Gov. Andrew Cuomo won re-election by about 23.5- points.
In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden carried the state by 23-points, only a half-point off of Cuomo’s 2018 gubernatorial pace.
Zeldin’s impressive performance at the top of the ticket was enough to lift several congressional candidates in the Empire State, and allowed the GOP to pick up four seats – giving them enough to barely take back the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
On a night where the GOP couldn’t win in the suburbs of Kansas, they made huge gains in New York’s blue turf.
With McConnell and McCarthy seemingly set to remain in place, Zeldin and Lindell’s possible challenges of McDaniel could represent the only potential for major leadership change for a Party reeling from Midterm malaise.
