Trump's next RNC chairman Joe Gruters is a longtime believer. Here's what to know about him

Joe Gruters, a key figure in boosting GOP registration in Florida, will lead the Republican National Committee and oversee fundraising and election strategies under Trump's influence.

  • With no challenger, Joe Gruters will be ratified Friday as Republican National Committee chair at the Republicans' summer meeting in Atlanta, as President Donald Trump's handpicked choice.
  • From Sarasota to the state chairmanship, Joe Gruters backed Trump early, honored him locally in Sarasota County, and rose through Florida GOP ranks with allies like Susie Wiles.
  • As chairman, Joe Gruters will oversee fundraising as a partner with the White House and manage election mechanics and rules for the 2028 presidential campaign.
  • Gruters' elevation cements President Donald Trump's influence, and his short-term priority is helping Republicans retain U.S. House and Senate majorities for the 2026 midterms.
  • Though tensions linger, Gruters says he has moved past the feud with Gov. Ron DeSantis, meeting national donors and leaving the CFO race to assume the RNC chairmanship mid-cycle.
