“It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” Carrie Budoff Brown, who leads political coverage at NBC, wrote in a memo shared with The New York Times.

McDaniel became RNC chair with Trump’s backing in 2017 and won reelection four times, but she has recently clashed with the former president, who is expected to be the party’s nominee for president this fall.

Trump has attacked NBC and MSNBC in recent weeks, accusing the network of being a tool for Democrats and suggesting he would crack down on the network if elected president.
