Former United States President, Donald Trump has cemented his take-over of the Republican Party with the ascent of two loyalists to the top leadership positions in its national organisation.
The former president earlier endorsed Michael Whatley and his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump for chair and co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
Their elections were formalized on Friday at the RNC’s spring training gathering in Houston, Texas and 77-year-old Trump is slated to soon become the party’s presidential nominee again.
Ahead of what will be his third consecutive election to the Republican nomination, allies and supporters had piled pressure on him to remove long-time RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
