RNC chair Ronna McDaniel stepping aside for Trump loyalists

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is resigning on March 8, she said in a statement Monday after former President Trump easily won the South Carolina primary on Saturday.

Why it matters: McDaniel's resignation came after a pressure campaign from Trump, who has endorsed a triumvirate of loyalists to take over the RNC.

Michael Whatley, chair of the North Carolina GOP, to become leader.

Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita to effectively serve as COO.

His daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to serve as co-chair.
