Before Trump announced his reelection campaign, the RNC chair promised to stay neutral in 2024.
Now, Ronna McDaniel is calling for Nikki Haley to drop out of the primary and support Trump.
In a statement, an RNC spokesperson told BI "the primary election currently favors President Trump."

In December 2023, while there were still around six remaining GOP presidential hopefuls vying for the party's nomination, the chair of the Republican National Committee insisted the party wasn't picking favorites.
