After exiting her role as chair of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel is set to join NBC News as a political analyst.
The news was announced by Senior Vice President of Politics Carrie Budoff Brow to employees in an internal memo Friday.
“It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” Budoff Brown wrote. “As chair of the Republican National Committee, she spent nearly eight years at the highest levels of American politics before stepping down earlier this year.
“As we gear up for the longest general election season in recent memory, she will support our leading coverage by providing an insider’s perspective on national politics and on the future of the Republican Party — which she led through some of the most turbulent and challenging moments in political history. And as a longtime Michigan resident, she’ll be an important voice from one of this year’s key battlegrounds.”
McDaniel ascended to the role of RNC Chair in 2017 after previously serving as the head of the Michigan Republican Party
She’ll make her on-air debut on Meet the Press on Sunday.
