Donald Trump is throwing his support behind KC Crosbie to succeed his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
Trump gave Crosbie, the RNC’s current treasurer and Kentucky’s national committeewoman, his “Complete and Total Endorsement” in a post on Truth Social.
“As Treasurer, she helped the RNC smash every fundraising record in History, and fortified our Party’s financial foundation. KC has been with me from the very beginning, helping REAL Republicans get elected across the Country, and would be a tremendous Co-Chair of the RNC,” Trump wrote.
Trump’s support for Crosbie comes less than 24 hours after his daughter in law said she was stepping down from her post amid speculation she could replace Florida Sen. Marco Rubio if he is confirmed as secretary of State.
RNC Chair Michael Whatley has already agreed to Trump’s request to remain in the role. It would be difficult for anyone to clinch the co-chair role without Trump’s support.
