On March 8, Republican Party Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel, who has been in office for seven years and has faced criticism from certain Republican critics regarding the party’s recent setbacks, will tender her resignation.
Following his 2016 election, former President Trump appointed McDaniel to lead the RNC.
Following the Republicans’ unsatisfactory performance in the November 2022 midterm elections nationwide, it has been reported that RNC members were inundated with emails requesting a leadership change.
“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.” McDaniel said.
“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 continued. “Some of my proudest accomplishments include firing Nancy Pelosi, winning the popular vote in 2022, creating an Election Integrity Department, building the committee’s first small dollar grassroots donor program, strengthening our state parties through our Growing Republican Organizations to Win program, expanding the Party through minority outreach at our community centers, and launching Bank Your Vote to get Republicans to commit to voting early.” she continued.
Trump endorsed North Carolina GOP Chair and RNC general counsel Michael Whatley and his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to succeed McDaniel and Drew McKissick, respectively, as RNC co-chairs, earlier this month.
