Sources told the NYT that Trump is likely to recommend North Carolina GOP Chairman Michael Whatley to succeed her.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is reportedly planning to step down from her position after long facing calls to do so amid poor fundraising hauls for the GOP.
McDaniel has reportedly told former President Donald Trump that she will step down after the South Carolina GOP primary on Feb. 24, the New York Times reported, citing “two people familiar with the plans.”
While the NYT reported that McDaniel had informed Trump she would resign, other outlets citing different sources suggested that the conversation had been less definitive. The Associated Press, for instance, reported that the pair had agreed to delay deciding on her future until after the South Carolina primary, citing “two people familiar with the matter.”
CNN, meanwhile, wrote that McDaniel “offered” to resign after the primary, citing “two party advisors.”
