Ex-RNC boss Ronna McDaniel finds new home at NBC, MSNBC as political analyst

NBC hired former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as an on-air contributor to all NBC News and MSNBC platforms, the company announced Friday. McDaniel, who formally resigned from her position at the RNC earlier this month after presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump asked her to step down, faced a vocal faction of conservative detractors who viewed her as too close to the party’s establishment wing.

The former RNC head will serve as a conservative voice on the network that employs staunch liberal political analysts such as former Biden administration press secretary Jen Psaki, ex-Kamala Harris staffer Symone Sanders-Townsend, former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, and others. 'It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,' NBC News political chief Carrie Budoff Brown said in a memo that was obtained by The New York Times.

Fox News Digital’s Anders Hagstrom and Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.
