President-elect Donald Trump announced his re-endorsement of Michael Whatley as chairman of the Republican National Committee following the party’s victories in the 2024 elections. Whatley, who previously led the party in North Carolina, was praised by Trump for his handling of the party’s election integrity operation. Under Whatley’s leadership, the RNC focused on training poll watchers and challenging voting laws in various states during the election cycle. The party also made significant organizational changes, including laying off staff and relocating operations to Florida where Trump resides. Whatley expressed his commitment to continuing the party’s priorities of voter turnout, ballot protection, and fundraising. Trump applauded Whatley’s efforts in protecting the vote and delivering crucial votes in battleground states. Whatley affirmed his dedication to supporting Trump’s agenda and preparing for the upcoming midterm elections while emphasizing the importance of election integrity. Trump allies had criticized former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, who was replaced by Whatley. Lara Trump, the president-elect’s daughter-in-law, is serving as co-chair alongside Whatley at the RNC. The announcement was made on Truth Social, a social media platform launched by Trump.
