Last night Trump released a statement and announced his picks to take over the RNC when Ronna McDaniel steps down from chairwoman.

Here’s the statement:

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. 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!

For these reasons, I think my friend Michael Whatley should be the RNC’s next leader. Michael has been with me from the beginning, has done a great job in his home state of North Carolina, and is committed to election integrity, which we must have to keep fraud out of our election so it can’t be stolen.

My very talented daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, has agreed to run as the RNC Co-Chair. Lara is an extremely talented communicator and is dedicated to all that MAGA stands for. She has told me she wants to accept this challenge and would be GREAT!

I have also asked Chris LaCivita, in whom I have full confidence, to assume the role of, in effect, Chief Operating Officer of the Committee. Chris will manage the RNC’s day-to-day operations so it will become a fighting machine for 2024 and use all the tools available to win for the American people.

This group of three is highly talented, battle-tested, and smart. They have my complete and total endorsement to lead the Republican National Committee.

I thought Ronna wasn’t resigning? I guess this is proof that’s what they discussed at Mar-a-lago last week when she went down there.

Last night, Jenna Ellis expressed concern that Trump wants his daughter-in-law as co-chair and his campaign manager as Chief Operating Officer.

It’s really all up to the RNC members. But I suspect Trump will get what he wants…
