Trump endorses NC's Whatley for RNC chair, Lara Trump for co-chair [View all]
Former President Trump on Monday backed Michael Whatley, the head of the North Carolina GOP, to serve as the next chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and threw his support behind his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to serve as co-chair.
“The RNC MUST be a good partner in the Presidential election. It must do the work we expect from the national Party and do it flawlessly,” Trump said in a statement. “That means helping to ensure fair and transparent elections across the country, getting out the vote everywhere — even in parts of the country where it won’t be easy — and working with my campaign, as the Republican presumptive nominee for President, to win this election and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The former president’s preferred candidates, if elected by RNC members, would cement a full takeover of the committee by Trump.
Trump said he was endorsing Whatley as the next RNC chair to replace Ronna McDaniel, who is expected to step down from the job after the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24.
