Ronna McDaniel will seek a new two-year term as chair of the Republican National Committee despite President Donald Trump’s defeat in the November election.

In a letter sent Wednesday morning to RNC members, McDaniel said she has the support of Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and the endorsements of more than 120 committee members, a large majority that all but assures she would win a third term.
