Ronna McDaniel will no longer be joining NBC News as a contributor after facing backlash from some network employees over her role as a political analyst. The former Republican National Committee chair was criticized for her attacks on the legitimacy of the 2020 election, which she has alleged without evidence. During an interview on “Meet the Press,” McDaniel addressed the election, the Capitol riot, and her relationship with former President Donald Trump. However, former host Chuck Todd accused her of having credibility issues, leading to concerns within NBC. As a result, NBC Universal news group chairman Cesar Conde confirmed that the deal with McDaniel was off. Critics of McDaniel argue that her statements about the election raise doubts about her credibility as a political analyst. This decision comes as McDaniel’s role at NBC was met with immediate backlash, prompting the network to reconsider their partnership with her.
