Who is new Trump-backed RNC Chairman Michael Whatley?
Fox News
North Carolina GOP Chairman Michael Whatley, a close ally to former President Donald Trump, was elected to replace Ronna McDaniel as the Republican National Committee's new leader.
Whatley has served as the North Carolina GOP chair since 2019, and also serves as the general counsel for the RNC. He was hand-picked by former President Donald Trump for the role, and has been strong supporter of the latter's repeated claims that his 2020 election loss to President Biden was due to massive voter fraud. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on X at @BGillespieAL.
One source told Fox News Digital last month that Whatley was specifically selected because he was "so powerful on election fraud" that year. That same source also told Fox that Whatley "kept the fraud down" in the state, "despite having a strong Democrat governor."
