NBC News recently announced that Ronna McDaniel, who resigned from her position as chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) earlier this month, will be joining the network as an on-air contributor.

As a result of this recruitment, NBC’s group of political commentators now includes a voice that is known as a Republican advocate. MSNBC is NBC’s cable cousin and a network that former President Donald Trump has frequently accused of being supportive of the Democratic Party. Ms. McDaniel is also expected to contribute comments on MSNBC.
