"Trump Endorses Lara Trump for RNC Co-Chair and Backs New GOP Leadership"

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Michael Whatley, chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, to lead the Republican National Committee (RNC) as chairman and his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to serve as co-chair, along with Chris LaCivita as Chief Operating Officer. This move comes amid low fundraising numbers and party underperformance under the current RNC chair, Ronna McDaniel, who just won a fourth term in January. Trump's decision on the future of the RNC leadership is expected after the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24.
