<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The <a href="1856_Republican_National_Convention" title="1856 Republican National Convention">1856 Republican National Convention</a> appointed the first RNC. It consisted of one member from each state and territory to serve for four years. Each national committee since then has followed the precedent of equal representation for each state or territory, regardless of population. From 1924 to 1952, there was a national committeeman and national committeewoman from each state and U.S. possession, and from <a href="Washington%2C_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a> In 1952, committee membership was expanded to include the state party chairs of states that voted Republican in the preceding presidential election, have a Republican majority in their congressional delegation (U.S. representatives and senators), or have Republican governors. By 1968, membership reached 145. As of 2011, the RNC has 168 members.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>While a number of the chairs of the RNC have been state governors, the only person to have chaired the RNC and later become U.S. president is <a href="George_H._W._Bush" title="George H. W. Bush">George H. W. Bush</a>. During Bush's time as RNC chair, <a href="Spiro_Agnew" title="Spiro Agnew">Spiro Agnew</a> was being investigated for corruption, which would later lead to Agnew's resignation as vice president. Bush assisted, at the request of Nixon and Agnew, in getting <a href="John_Glenn_Beall_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="John Glenn Beall Jr.">John Glenn Beall Jr.</a>, the <a href="U.S._Senator_from_Maryland" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Senator from Maryland">U.S. Senator from Maryland</a>, to pressure his brother, <a href="George_Beall_(attorney)" title="George Beall (attorney)">George Beall</a> the <a href="U.S._Attorney" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Attorney">U.S. Attorney</a> in Maryland, to shut down the investigation into Agnew. Attorney Beall ignored the pressure.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 2013, the RNC began an outreach campaign towards the American youth and minority voters, after studies showed these groups generally perceived that the Republican Party did not care about their concerns.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>During the presidency of Donald Trump, the RNC showed staunch loyalty to President Trump, even at times when prominent Republicans did not. Under <a href="Ronna_McDaniel" title="Ronna McDaniel">Ronna McDaniel</a>'s leadership, the RNC ran ads for <a href="Donald_Trump_2020_presidential_campaign" title="Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign">Trump's 2020 campaign</a> as early as 2018, put numerous Trump campaign workers and affiliates on the RNC payroll, spent considerable funds at Trump-owned properties, covered his legal fees in the Russian interference investigation, hosted Trump's <a href="Fake_News_Awards" title="Fake News Awards">Fake News Awards</a>, and criticized Trump critics within the Republican Party.<sup id="cite_ref-Heersink_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Heersink-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Two days after the <a href="January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack" title="January 6 United States Capitol attack">January 6th riot at the Capitol</a> following the controversial 2020 presidential election results, the RNC held an event where members expressed loyalty to the President.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In February 2022, the RNC censured two Republican representatives, <a href="Liz_Cheney" title="Liz Cheney">Liz Cheney</a> of Wyoming and <a href="Adam_Kinzinger" title="Adam Kinzinger">Adam Kinzinger</a> of Illinois, for their participation in the <a href="United_States_House_Select_Committee_on_the_January_6_Attack" class="mw-redirect" title="United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack">United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the US Capitol</a>; the censure statement described the committee as a "Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse."<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The censure of sitting congressmembers, and particularly the description of the January 6 events as "legitimate political discourse", received bipartisan criticism from politicians and media.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<p>The Republican National Committee's main function is to assist the Republican Party of the United States. It helps to promote the Republican political platform and the "party brand" or image. It is more focused on campaign and organizational strategy than <a href="Public_policy" title="Public policy">public policy</a>.

</p><p>It helps coordinate fundraising and election strategy, as well as organizing and running the <a href="Republican_National_Convention" title="Republican National Convention">Republican National Convention</a>.

</p><p>

According to Jim Nicholson, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee:</p><blockquote><p> “The party can’t coordinate with these Super PACs and neither can the campaigns so there’s a lot more chaos . . . .And the party structure clearly has a diminished role because they don’t have the resources they used to have.”<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p></blockquote>

<p>On announcing his candidacy to succeed RNC Chairman Duncan, former Maryland Lt. Gov. <a href="Michael_Steele" title="Michael Steele">Michael Steele</a> described the party as being at a crossroads and not knowing what to do. "I think I may have some keys to open the door, some juice to turn on the lights," he said.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

After Saltsman's withdrawal, there were only five candidates during the hotly contested balloting January 30, 2009.

</p><p>After the third round of balloting that day, Steele held a small lead over incumbent Mike Duncan of <a href="Kentucky" title="Kentucky">Kentucky</a>, with 51 votes to Duncan's 44.

</p><p>Mississippi Governor and former RNC chair <a href="Haley_Barbour" title="Haley Barbour">Haley Barbour</a> has suggested the party will focus its efforts on congressional and gubernatorial elections in the coming years rather than the next presidential election. "When I was chairman of the Republican National Committee the last time we lost the White House in 1992 we focused exclusively on 1993 and 1994. And at the end of that time, we had both houses of Congress with Republican majorities, and we'd gone from 17 Republican governors to 31. So anyone talking about 2012 today doesn't have their eye on the ball. What we ought to worry about is rebuilding our party over the next year and particularly in 2010," Barbour said at the November 2008 Republican Governors conference.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
