Lara Trump Set to Become RNC Co-Chair as Trump Seeks to Merge Campaign with Party Leadership

The move signals a significant shift in the Republican National Committee's leadership, aiming to enhance Donald Trump's influence over the party.

Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, is poised to become the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), signaling a significant shift in the party's leadership.
The proposed leadership changes aim to merge Donald Trump's reelection campaign with the RNC into a 'seamless operation,' enhancing his influence over the party.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is expected to step down after the South Carolina GOP primary, amid criticism of her performance and Trump's push for new leadership.
The new leadership slate, including Lara Trump and other Trump loyalists, plans to overhaul the RNC, focusing on campaign experience and early voting initiatives.
Critics express concerns over nepotism and the potential impact on the RNC's fundraising and operational effectiveness, while supporters see it as a move to strengthen Trump's grip on the party.
