The Republican National Committee elected a new chairman and co-chair on Friday. Michael Whatley, the head of the North Carolina Republican Party, was elected unanimously as the new chairman and Lara Trump was elected unanimously as the co-chair.
McDaniel endorsed Whatley and Trump and pledged to support former President Donald Trump.

Lara Trump vowed the RNC would “work our hardest over the next eight months” and that Trump being up for re-election is about “the family” and “our country.”
“We are going to make sure that every single penny of every dollar goes towards one goal,” she added, “which is winning.”
