This story broke about 5 minutes after I posted today’s Absurdities piece:
Excerpt from the story at the NY Post:
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.
[End]
McDaniel’s resignation paves the way for Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump - Eric’s wife - to become the party’s Chair. We will see if she can do a better job than Mitt Romney’s niece. She could hardly do worse.
That is all.
Curiously she couldn’t list any Republican wins in her column since 2016
I’d love to see Harmeet Dhillon take over.
