Priebus Mulls Another Term as RNC Chairman

August 16, 2016 · 6:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

Politico: “It’s a move that would come as a surprise to many. The 44-year-old Priebus, who was first elected in 2011, had led many to believe he would be finished with the high-profile job following a rambunctious campaign season — one that at times has resulted in fierce criticism of Priebus and the committee he leads. Already, several would-be successors, including former Silicon Valley executive Carly Fiorina, have begun de facto campaigns for the chairmanship.”

“But in recent weeks, Priebus has begun telling friends and allies that he’s seriously considering running for reelection.”

Republicans Reince Priebus
