"RNC Purges Staff as Trump-Backed Leadership Takes Over"

The new leadership team at the Republican National Committee, loyal to Donald Trump, has initiated a significant staff purge, aiming to align the committee more closely with the Trump 2024 presidential campaign. Around 60 staffers are expected to be let go, with the new chair Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump reorganizing the party's central committee to fully support the Trump campaign. The move is seen as part of Trump's strategy to ensure only loyalists to him and the "Maga movement" remain at the RNC, following criticism of the committee's fundraising performance.
