() Ronna McDaniel, a former chair of the Republican National Committee, is back in the political spotlight after taking on a position as CEO of the “Michigan Forward Network” to help make the Wolverine State consistently Republican.

McDaniel joined ” Now” to discuss her new role and why she believes Michigan needs more Republican policies.

“This is going to be an infrastructure that’s here that’s going to build and grow as we focus on keeping Michigan red,” McDaniel said.

The “Michigan Forward Network” aims to maintain control of the state House, state Senate and legislature and to highlight Democratic failures. It is backed by the DeVos family, one of the richest families in the state.

McDaniel believes education “is the pathway to success” in America and said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., is to blame for Michigan’s low ranking among reading skills.

“We want to hold her accountable and repudiate not just her but also Democrats across the state,” McDonald said. “That is an abysmal failure. They should not be allowed to hold any office.”
