"RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel Resigns, Making Way for Trump Loyalists"

Ronna McDaniel will step down as the Republican National Committee Chair on March 8, allowing the nominee to select a new leader, as Donald Trump asserts control over the party. Trump's preference for North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley to replace McDaniel and his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as committee co-chair signals a shift in party leadership. The move comes as the GOP transitions to the general election of the 2024 presidential contest, with Trump's influence tightening and allies aligning with his false theories of voter fraud.
