"Michael Whatley Takes Over as RNC Chair Following Ronna McDaniel's Resignation"
North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley has officially announced his candidacy for the Republican National Committee (RNC) chair, with the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. This comes as the current RNC Chair, Ronna McDaniel, announced her upcoming departure. Trump is backing Whatley for chair, his daughter-in-law Lara Trump for co-chair, and his senior campaign adviser Chris LaCivita for RNC’s chief operating officer. Whatley emphasized the need for the RNC to focus on voter registration, turnout, and election litigation, aligning with Trump's priorities. The election for RNC chair is set for March 8, and Whatley is expected to secure widespread support among the RNC’s members.
