Ronna McDaniel Expected to Step Down as RNC Chair After Criticism From Trump

Ronna McDaniel, who has led the Republican National Committee since shortly after being selected in late 2016 by Donald Trump, won’t continue to hold her post for the 2024 general election, according to sources close to the former president.

“She is out,” one Trump confidant said.

An RNC member familiar with the situation said McDaniel will step down after the South Carolina Republican primary on Feb. 24. Two other committee veterans said they hadn’t been briefed by McDaniel on her intentions.

An RNC spokesman dismissed the idea that her plan was set. “Nothing has changed,” Keith Schipper said in a statement. “This will be decided after South Carolina.”
