Allies of Prime Minister Keir Starmer are prepared to fight any leadership challenge from Labour MPs, amid fears of internal plotting and concerns over Labour's unpopularity and potential leadership changes, with some party members considering a leadership contest that could destabilize the party and impact national stability.
Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, announced her resignation following criticism from former President Donald Trump and his endorsement of new party leaders. McDaniel highlighted her accomplishments and stated her intention to step down at the RNC's Spring Training in March to allow the nominee to select a new chair. Criticism of McDaniel's leadership focused on party finances and grassroots efforts, with calls for change intensifying ahead of the party's winter meetings. Trump's influence and recent electoral setbacks were also factors in the leadership change.
Former President Donald Trump suggested that Ronna McDaniel should step down as chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, citing the party's lackluster fundraising and electoral results. Trump's remarks came during an interview with Newsmax, where he indicated that changes at the committee could be imminent after the South Carolina primary. Despite holding no formal power over the group, Trump's influence as the Republican front-runner could lead to significant shifts within the committee.
