Former longtime Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel has been a prominent figure within the GOP for many years. While her attendance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week remains uncertain, it is evident that she will not have a formal speaking role if she does appear.
Throughout her tenure as the Michigan GOP chair and her leadership of the national party committee for over seven years, McDaniel has cultivated numerous strong relationships within the party. Her appointment by then-President-elect Trump to head the RNC after his 2016 election victory was followed by successful re-elections in 2019, 2021, and January 2023.
