Ronna McDaniel Delivers Update About Her Future at the RNC

A shake up at the Republican National Committee (RNC) will be coming soon.

On Monday, RNC Chairwoman 👤Ronna McDanielannounced she would resign her position after the Mar. 5 Super Tuesday primaries.

“It has been the honor and privilege of my life to serve the Republican National Committee for seven years as Chairwoman to elect Republicans and grow our Party,” McDaniel said in a statement.

She continued, “I have decided to step aside at our Spring Training on March 8 in Houston to allow our nominee to select a Chair of their choosing. The RNC has historically undergone change once we have a nominee and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition.”

“I remain committed to winning back the White House and electing Republicans up and down the ballot in November,” she added.

Earlier this month, Trump argued it was time for change at the RNC.

He endorsed North Carolina Republican Party Chair Michael Whatley to be McDaniel’s replacement.

“I think my friend Michael Whatley should be the RNC’s next leader. Michael has been with me from the beginning, has done a great job in his home state of North Carolina,” Trump said.

He also said, “My very talented daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, has agreed to run as the RNC Co-Chair.”

“She has told me she wants to accept this challenge and would be GREAT,” he added.

Reuters noted, “As part of the reshuffling, Trump said Chris LaCivita, a co-manager of his campaign, would serve as the RNC’s chief operating officer.”

“LaCivita is a veteran political operative who worked at the RNC during the 2016 race, helping thwart a challenge to Trump’s nomination on the convention floor,” it added.

McDaniels’ statement comes after Trump won the South Carolina primary, beating former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in her home state.
