honcho over at the Republican National Committee (RNC), has reportedly decided to throw in the towel and step down from her position after the South Carolina primary later this month. This news comes as no surprise to those who have been keeping an eye on the RNC’s recent struggles under McDaniel’s leadership. President Trump himself hasn’t been shy about expressing his frustrations with her either. I mean, come on, who could blame him?
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel to step down after South Carolina primaries: report https://t.co/I8h6ALtHhh #FoxNews

According to The New York Times, President Trump has wasted no time suggesting a replacement for McDaniel. He’s got his sights set on Michael Whatley, the chair of the North Carolina GOP, who just so happens to be a strong supporter of Trump’s claims of a stolen election. You know, the same claims that had liberal heads exploding quicker than a shaken soda can? Yeah, that’s right! Trump wants Whatley to take the reins and shake things up at the RNC.
Now, before we get ahead of ourselves, it’s important to note that nothing is set in stone just yet. But sources close to McDaniel say that she has been considering leaving her post for quite some time. In fact, she reportedly even discussed her resignation with President Trump during a warm and fuzzy meeting they had at Mar-A-Lago. Bless her heart, it must have been tough for her to face the reality that her time as RNC chair might be coming to an end.
One thing’s for sure, the Republican base isn’t too pleased with McDaniel’s performance. They’ve been pointing fingers at her left and right, blaming her for the party’s recent string of losses. And hey, I can’t say I blame them! I mean, if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say, “Ronna McDaniel is the reason we lost that election,” I’d have enough money to fund a whole campaign myself!
But let’s not forget about the big cheese himself, President Trump. He’s been downright fed up with the RNC’s lackluster fundraising efforts and their failure to address the issue of voter fraud during the 2020 election. It’s no secret that Trump has been vocal about his disappointment with the RNC, and who can blame him? I mean, if you ask me, they dropped the ball faster than a butterfingered quarterback!
To add insult to injury, the RNC had an abysmal fundraising year in 2023, ending up with a measly $8 million in the bank. Now, I don’t know about you, but that sounds like chump change for a national party organization. It’s no wonder Trump is itching for some major changes over at the RNC. He even hinted at it during an interview with Fox News, saying that “there will probably be some changes made.” You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to read between the lines on that one.
So, folks, it looks like we’re in for a wild ride in the world of Republican politics. With McDaniel’s resignation on the horizon and Trump eyeing a replacement, the GOP is bracing itself for some much-needed shake-ups. Let’s just hope these changes can steer the party back on course and away from the dreaded “party of losers” label that has been slung around like mud at a pigpen. Only time will tell, my friends, only time will tell.
