Zeldin who has been a strong supporter of former President Trump recently ran for Governor of New York. Although he didn’t get enough votes to secure the position he came closer, a lot closer than pundits thought at the start of his campaign.

Shortly after his midterm loss, he started getting calls urging him to run to replace RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel. The day after she announced she would seek another term, John Brabender shared, “He [Zeldin] has received calls from around the country It’s likely that he will at least explore it. … He’s fielding calls, talking to people, listening to them, but it has not gone beyond that.”

It seems that Zeldin is leaning towards challenging McDaniel, many in the party want to see a change in leadership to someone who seems less swampy and more for the grassroots of the GOP.
