Reports: Trump’s Choices Installed by RNC into Leadership Positions

Simon Kent 8 Mar 2024

Multiple reports Friday detailed Donald Trump has completed his leadership push of the Republican National Committee (RNC) with party officials anointing the former president’s hand-picked choices for senior roles — including his daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

AP reports Michael Whatley, a North Carolina Republican who has backed Trump’s declarations of voter fraud, is set to be elected the party’s new national chairman in a vote Friday morning in Houston.

Lara Trump will become the co-chair. She follows a precedent set by Maureen Reagan, the daughter of President Ronald Reagan, the last family member of a president to serve as co-chair of the RNC back in the 1980s.

Whatley will carry the top title, replacing longtime chair Ronna McDaniel after she announced her departure last week, as Breitbart News reported.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has a new leader now that former chair Ronna McDaniel has stepped aside, and committee members' have cast their votes at the group's spring meeting in Houston, Texas on Friday.

North Carolina GOP Chairman Michael Whatley won that unanimous voice vote and will take the reins of a party struggling to undo its Democratic counterpart's financial advantage as the November general election looms.

Whatley has served as the North Carolina GOP chair since 2019, and also serves as the general counsel for the RNC. He was hand-picked by former President Donald Trump for the role, and has been strong supporter of the latter's repeated claims that his 2020 election loss to President Biden was due to massive voter fraud.
