Trump set to take over Republican Party by installing key ally, daughter-in-law to lead RNC
Fox News
Former President Trump, the 2024 GOP presumptive nominee, formally takes control of the Republican National Committee on Friday as a top loyalist and his daughter-in-law will lead the party.
The RNC gathering, which was scheduled in the last couple of weeks, comes in the same week Trump swept 14 of the 15 GOP primaries and caucuses on Super Tuesday – which moved him much closer to officially locking up the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. It also comes just two days after Trump's last rival for the nomination – former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – dropped out of the race.
"He’s the presumptive nominee. He’s going to be our nominee. He’s going to be the guy to beat Joe Biden, and it’s normal for the presumptive nominee of the party to run the RNC," longtime RNC committee member from Mississippi Henry Barbour told Fox News on the eve of the meeting.
