The Republican National Committee fired more than 60 staffers on Monday, a move that signals just how quickly former president Donald Trump’s new leadership team is restructuring the committee after installing a new team. The firings occurred just two days after the former president’s handpicked candidates — North Carolina GOP chairman Michael Whatley and Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara — were unanimously elected as the GOP’s new chair and co-chair to replace ex-RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel and Drew McKissick, both of whom had resigned from their posts.

The move comes as the RNC is undergoing a merger of sorts with the Trump campaign after Nikki Haley dropped out of the race and the former president looks poised to lock up the 2024 nomination. The timeline for these layoffs came as a surprise to some staffers, many of whom saw the mass firings coming but did not expect them to occur so quickly after the leadership shakeup took place. Staffers were told by their bosses over the weekend to come in at 8 a.m. Monday, two people familiar with the matter told NR, an ominous sign that left many staffers bracing for the worst.

Politico first reported the firings Monday afternoon as taking place across “political, communications and data departments” and including a number of senior staff. The RNC also fired every one of its regional political directors and state directors, people familiar with the matter told National Review. The party will also move its entire digital and finance team to Palm Beach, Florida, NR confirmed.

Spokesman for Trump did not immediately respond to NR’s request for comment.
