Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel denounced the Biden administration on Sunday, saying the White House is “more China first than America first” as the country heads into the 2024 presidential election.
“If this continues, we’re not going to get the America we know and love,” McDaniel told Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream. “If they stack the Supreme Court, if they get off the filibuster, if they give up energy independence, if they are so beholden to China.”
“China runs this White House in many ways…this is a government that is more China first than America first,” McDaniel claimed.
McDaniel also stressed the need for Republican Party voters to form a united front ahead of the 2024 presidential election amid criticism from the left that the GOP is divided.

“People are really struggling in this country right now, so I look at the debate, not just about Republicans against Republicans, I think of it as our party advocating why we should win the White House and beat Joe Biden,” McDaniel said.
The Biden administration has received some criticism for their handling of China as tensions between the two countries have continued to worsen, particularly over Taiwan, technology and manufacturing.

On Friday, the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill that struck down Biden’s action last year, allowing Chinese solar panel manufacturers to circumvent Obama-era tariffs. Biden enacted a 24-month moratorium last June on enforcing solar anti-circumvention tariffs introduced under the Obama administration that protected U.S. companies.
“Joe Biden’s decision to shield China’s communist solar manufacturers from U.S. tariffs is another display of weakness from an already spineless administration,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn, told Fox last week. News Digital.
CHINA ‘RECOGNIZES MEXICO’S STRATEGIC VALUE’ AS IT HAS GREATER INFLUENCE ON US NEIGHBORHOOD EYE
Earlier this month, former US ambassadors Peter Hoekstra and Joseph Cella sounded the alarm about the increasing number of green energy projects being developed across the country with the involvement of Chinese companies. The ambassadors said the companies are using US tax incentives to build facilities and projects in the US, boosting Chinese industry and ensuring US dependence on China.
