RNC Chair Announces Resignation, Here's When She'll Step Aside

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced Monday morning that she would step down from leading the GOP early next month after more than seven years at the helm.

"It has been the honor and privilege of my life to serve the Republican National Committee for seven years as Chairwoman to elect Republicans and grow our Party," McDaniel said in a statement on Monday. "Some of my proudest accomplishments include firing Nancy Pelosi, winning the popular vote in 2022, creating an Election Integrity Department, building the committee’s first small dollar grassroots donor program, strengthening our state parties through our Growing Republican Organizations to Win program, expanding the Party through minority outreach at our community centers, and launching Bank Your Vote to get Republicans to commit to voting early," she added, reflecting on her tenure — the longest of any RNC chair since the Civil War.

 "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 explained of her timeline following Trump's victory in the South Carolina GOP primary over the weekend that kept the former president on a path to clinching a majority of bound delegates by mid-March.
