Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has offered to leave her position following the South Carolina primary later this month to allow former President Donald Trump to install his own party chair, two party advisers told CNN. She has also discussed those plans with Trump, according to a person a familiar.

RNC spokesperson Keith Schipper told CNN in a statement Tuesday night that nothing has changed. This will be decided after South Carolina.

The New York Times was first to report on McDaniels future.

McDaniels offer to resign comes as tensions between Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, and the RNC have heightened in recent days and as the former presidents team has begun quietly floating names to replace her.
CNN reported earlier Tuesday that North Carolina Republican Party chairman Michael Whatley and South Carolina Republican Party chairman Drew McKissick are among the names being floated by Trumps team, according to two sources with knowledge of internal discussions.

Whatley, who serves as general counsel of the RNC, has a strong relationship with Trump. Even so, the former president could not unilaterally install him. While Trump can give his endorsement, which would strengthen a contenders chances, only RNC committee members can elect McDaniels replacement as chair.

Changed her name and everything, still the leopards ate her face.

I guess Haley will drop out shortly, as the RNC is likely to strike her name from any future primaries.
