RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is officially stepping away from her position; McDaniel says March 8th will be her last day as Chair, three days after Super Tuesday.

“I have decided to step aside at our spring training on March 8 in Houston to allow our nominee to select a chair of their choosing,” McDaniel said in a statement. “The R.N.C. 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, 50, took the position at the urging of Donald Trump, shortly after his election as president in 2016. She was a strong advocate for Trump and helped reshape the GOP in his image. But Trump’s MAGA movement increasingly blamed her for his 2020 loss and the party’s failures to meet expectations in races the last two years.

Trump, who appears certain to lock the GOP nomination for the job this year, has been pushing for her replacement, publicly backing North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley for the job, along with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as the next co-chair.

The former president also promoted Chris LaCivita to assume the role of the RNC’s chief operating officer.

“This group of three is highly talented, battle-tested, and smart. They have my complete and total endorsement to lead the Republican National Committee,” Trump said in a Feb. 12 statement.
