COLLECTIVE EXHALE

Ronna McDaniel

Making the rounds among the  national political scribes – Ronna (don’t call me Romney) McDaniel is expected to seek a third term as Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair when members meet this coming January. Plucked from her position after two years as the chair of the Michigan GOP once Donald Trump took the state in the 2016 election, McDaniel has been endorsed by the outgoing president for another term, which is akin to an anointment. The Northville resident is the granddaughter of former Michigan Governor George Romney and Sen. Mitt Romney’s niece, although she eschews her maiden name as to avoid upsetting Trump, who’s not a fan of the Senator.
