Ronna Romney McDaniel, Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), has announced her intention to step down from her position following the South Carolina primary, scheduled for the end of this month. McDaniel reportedly discussed her plans with former President Donald Trump, with the aim of allowing him to have a say in choosing the next RNC leader. However, it is essential to note that the RNC leader is elected by the committee members rather than being directly appointed by the former president.
This breaking news comes amidst recent indications from Trump and his team that they were seeking to make changes within the RNC leadership. McDaniel's decision to resign is seen as a proactive move on her part, considering the potential transition that was anticipated. While Michael Watley, the current General Counsel and head of the North Carolina Republican Party, is reportedly being considered as her successor, no official announcement has been made thus far. Given Trump's decision-making style, it is possible that further adjustments to the leadership may occur even after the appointment.
