New leadership team takes over the RNC

The Republican National Committee elected its new senior leadership team Friday at the party‘s annual spring meeting, closing the book on Ronna McDaneil’s longtime stewardship of the Republican Party.

Taking the reins of the RNC are Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump, who were handpicked by former President Donald Trump for the election-year takeover of the GOP after he forced out Ms. McDaniel.

The 168 RNC members unanimously elected Mr. Whatley and Ms. Trump in a voice vote Friday at the RNC‘s spring meeting in Houston.
