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.
