After cries of nepotism from critics, Lara Trump was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) on Friday morning.
Michael Whatley, the head of the North Carolina Republican Party, won the position of chair after receiving the backing of former president Donald Trump.
The former chair of the RNC Ronna McDaniel stepped down at the suggestion of Trump after seven years in service after poor fundraising results were announced last month.
The only candidate for co-chair was Lara Trump, who was elected unanimously to the position.
Lara, the daughter-in-law of the former president who is married to his son, Eric Trump, was dogged by charges of nepotism from the moment her name was floated for the position.
During her goodbye remarks, McDaniel praised Donald Trump and announced her support for his candidacy. She asked other RNC members for their support as well.
Lara Trump vowed that the RNC would work hard to ensure her father-in-law’s re-election.
“We are going to make sure that every single penny of every dollar goes towards one goal,” she added, “which is winning.”
Recently, Lara Trump stated that she believes that many RNC donors will support paying Donald Trump’s legal fees.
The former presidents financial woes continue to mount by the day. After a civil trial, Donald Trump was ordered to pay $355 million in a business fraud case, a major blow to his business empire. The New York Attorney General has said she will seek to seize Trump’s properties if he is unable to pay.
On Friday, the former president posted a $91.6 million bond for the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll.
