Former President Donald Trump hinted at potential changes in the Republican National Committee (RNC) leadership during a recent interview. When asked about RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel’s performance, Trump acknowledged that “there’ll probably be some changes” without providing further details.
Trump had previously praised McDaniel for her role in running Michigan during his campaign and leading the RNC. However, his recent remarks suggest a shift in his stance. This comes as a surprise considering Trump’s earlier statement that McDaniel did a “fantastic job” as RNC Chair.
The Trump campaign and the RNC have yet to comment on these remarks. However, it’s worth noting that McDaniel has shown her support for Trump, stating that unity within the party is crucial to defeating President Biden.
It is important to recognize that McDaniel faced criticism following Republican losses in the 2022 and 2023 elections. The RNC’s plans for a post-election audit, specifically examining Trump’s role, further intensified the scrutiny.
Despite the challenges, McDaniel secured a fourth term as RNC Chair in January 2023, despite opposition from some within the party.
