President-elect Donald Trump made an announcement during a Friday night event at Mar-a-Lago, where he called North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley up on stage. Trump asked Whatley to continue serving as the chair of the committee for another cycle, a source familiar with the situation revealed.
Whatley graciously accepted the offer, indicating his willingness to continue in his role. Notably, Trump did not mention current RNC co-chair Lara Trump during the event.
