Atlanta (AP) – Joe Gluters, a Florida conservative Donald Trump Back in his days as a reality television star, cheerleaders are the president’s handpicked choice to become the next Republican National Committee chairman.
There are no opposition parties, and the official Gruters election is scheduled for the Republican summer meeting in Atlanta on Friday.
In Gruter’s case, the vote steadily climbs from county party leaders to the top ranks of Trump’s second presidency. for TrumpGluters’ ratification reflects his preferences Faithful middle li And the evolution from a new president indifferent to an oval office veteran aimed at holding the lever of all power.
Let’s take a look at the Gluters’ history with Trump and Republicans and what it means when he became chairman.
Gruter was the same as his “Politician Year” from the beginning.
Trump’s decade of domination over Republican politics is full of rivals and critics who blend into folds. Vice President JD Vance once Comparing Trump to Adolf Hitlerand Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeled him Trump. “con man” And I laughed at him Masculinity.
But Gluters was a true follower some years before Trump launched his first campaign in 2015.
“Joe will bet on the horse before the truck is built,” said Christian Ziegler, a former Florida Republican chair and a friend of the Gluters.
In 2012, Gluters led the Sarasota County GOP, with Republicans nominated Mitt Romney as president at a convention in Tampa, near Florida.
Romney is like a moderate Republican who is now almost extinct in public office and was also an acceptance of Trump as a businessman. I was asked by mistake The birthplace and citizenship of then President Barack Obama. Still, Trump is widely considered Romney’s responsibility to Obama, and Romney’s team was cautious about whether Trump had a role in customs. Trump was eventually confirmed as a speaker, but an upcoming tropical storm shortened the schedule for the competition, and his slot was one of the victims.
Enter your gluter.
The enthusiastic Sarasotan had already chosen Trump as the county party’s “politician of the year.” The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Sarasota hit dinner galas with 1,000 guests at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Sarasota on Great Eve. It solidified lasting friendship.
Gluter climbed the Ladder in Florida with Trump.
Given that Rubio and former governor Jeb Bush were also running, Gluters’ support for President Trump’s first presidential bid in 2015 stood out in Florida.
In October, Gluters became co-chair of Trump’s Florida campaign. That’s what his fellow chair was like. Susie WillsHe is currently Trump’s Chief of Staff. Bush I didn’t make it To the Florida Primary, and Trump beats Rubioends the Senators’ campaign.
Gluters was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2016, at the same time that Trump won the Florida election vote and presidency. And Wills, a partner in the Gruters’ old Trump campaign, was the mastermind behind Florida Gov. DeSantis. A narrow victory in 2018.
So when it mattered, Gruter was well located with the office of the oval office friends and the governor.
Gluter navigates the split of nasty parties, and Trump’s election lies
All these powerful allies supported Gruter’s successful bid to the Florida GOP Chairman in 2019.
Gluter and party Increased GOP registration The statewide helped push the Florida battlefield to a clearer, more conservative advantage. When Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden flipped the battlefield of the Sunbelt in 2020 Arizona and GeorgiaTrump I beat Florida Comfortable.
It helped Gluter to navigate Trump’s falsehood That Biden’s national victory was equipped. Gruter carefully chose his words and assured him that while he would not lead to Trump’s election denialism, he would never portray the rage of a defeated president. Leaning towards local results, Gluter was called Florida. He said there are “questions” about “shenangan” in other states.
“Florida was at the heart of everything,” said current state speaker Evan Power. “Joe knows the success and lessons he has learned from Florida, and he can bring it to the national level.”
Florida’s right shift continued Dominate reelection Desantis and Rubio wins in 2022. This victory has led to Desantis being the forefront of the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
However, certain Palm Beach residents were not completed.
When Trump built him Third campaignWill stuck with him – not DeSantis. The governor was eventually broken with Will and Gruter. after that Trump buried DeSantislike he crushed Bush and Rubio. DeSantis Reconciliation with Trumpbut not Gluter, he describes him as having a “ringin spine” like last month.
Gruters reaffirms Republican Trump retention
Trump is circulating across multiple national GOP chairs. Reince Priebus in 2016 was a supporter of the reluctant Trump who became president. Chief of Staff In 2017, Dismissal via social media posts. Trump Turned to Rona Romney McDanielmitt’s nie. He is ultimately Pushed out McDaniel Then North Carolina’s Michael Whatley hits Michael Waley as chairman, and daughter-in-law Lara Trump as the party’s family.
As chairman, Gluters will become a fundraiser partner for the White House. The RNC is an important cog in the Joint Party fundraiser that the President has discovered.
Trump has always been his own major messenger, but Gruter as president will become another prominent face We are approaching the mid-term 2026. That means not only policy and branding, but also election mechanisms. Gluter avoided denial of Trump’s election, but he is now partially responsible for building a team of lawyers and pollers for the president who openly question the effectiveness of the US election.
Beyond the midterm, Gruter will become chairman and will help set up the Presidential Reserve Calendar, debate rules and other nuts and bolts for the 2028 campaign. Trump has limited constitutional term, but he has made it clear that he will not remain in the shadows as voters choose his successor. In Gruter, he is directly in the process.
