"RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel's Resignation Sparks Leadership Shake-Up"

Ronna McDaniel will step down as the Republican National Committee chair on March 8, allowing the nominee to select a new chair. This follows tensions between McDaniel and former President Donald Trump, who has endorsed North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley to succeed her. The departure comes amid a changing of the guard at the RNC, with South Carolina GOP co-chair Drew McKissick also stepping down. Trump's endorsement carries significant weight in the party, making Whatley the heavy favorite for the new chair position.
