RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on April 20, 2023 in Simi Valley, Calif. David McNew / Getty Images file.
In a statement, McDaniel said it had been an "honor and privilege" to serve as chairwoman for seven years.
"The RNC has historically undergone change once we have a nominee and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition.".
Trump hand-picked McDaniel after the 2016 election to serve as RNC chair as Reince Priebus left the post to become his first chief of staff at the White House.
Trump told Fox News this month that “some changes” were likely at the RNC when he was asked about McDaniel’s performance.
I think she did OK initially in the RNC,” Trump said in the interview.
Days later, a Trump ally and RNC committeeman proposed a resolution to be considered at the party's winter meetings that would declare Trump the party's presumptive nominee. »
