Republican National Committee (RNC), Chair Ronna McDaniel announced her decision to step down after a tenure that began in 2017, coinciding with the inauguration of former President Donald Trump. Her announcement comes ahead of the RNC’s spring training, poised for March 8 in Houston, paving the way for a successor aligned with the party’s presidential nominee’s preference. McDaniel’s departure marks the end of an era characterized by her alignment with Trump’s administration, despite recent calls from Trump himself for new leadership within the RNC. Endorsing North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley as her successor, with Lara Trump proposed as co-chair, Trump’s influence remains prominent within the party dynamics.
Who do you think should lead the RNC moving forward?
