The newly elected leadership team at the Republican National Committee has started the process of letting go dozens of officials, a senior RNC source confirmed.
Nearly 60 RNC staffers who work in the national party committee’s communications, data, and political departments are being asked to resign, including a handful of senior staff, sources say.
The lay offs come after former president’s picks to serve as RNC chair and co-chair, North Carolina GOP chair Michael Whatley and daughter-in-law Lara Trump – were unanimously confirmed on Friday by voice votes in Houston, Texas.
Trump also installed campaign adviser Chris LaCivita as RNC chief of staff.
“The RNC today. It’s not going to look the same next week. There’s obviously going to be changes,” LaCivita said last week.
