The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
After years of poor electoral results despite excessive spending, it's time for McDaniel to go. With McDaniel gone, Trump can help pick a genuine America First replacement who will better support the former and future president.
Democratic narrative
McDaniel's upcoming departure shows how much the GOP is in thrall to Trump. The RNC seemingly has lost all self-respect and will accept nothing less than unequivocal support for Trump — forcing McDaniel to take the fall for the party's failures.
