Ronna McDaniel officially announces her resignation as RNC chair

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has officially announced her plans to step down next month.

McDaniel, 50, who has held the post for seven years, said she plans to resign on March 8.

“Some of my proudest accomplishments include firing Nancy Pelosi, winning the popular vote in 2022, creating an Election Integrity Department, building the committee’s first small dollar grassroots donor program, strengthening our state parties through our Growing Republican Organizations to Win program, expanding the Party through minority outreach at our community centers, and launching Bank Your Vote to get Republicans to commit to voting early,” she said in a statement to the New York Times Monday.

“I have decided to step aside at our Spring Training on March 8 in Houston to allow our nominee to select a Chair of their choosing.”

“The RNC has historically undergone change once we have a nominee and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition,” she added.

McDaniel, the niece of two-time Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, was the second woman to lead the RNC.

Prior to that post, she served as the chair of the Republican Party in Michigan.
