NBC News Ousts Ronna McDaniel Following Backlash Over Election Subversion

Published: 27 March 2024 at 03:15

Former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel was ousted as a paid political analyst by NBC News after backlash from network anchors over her role in subverting the 2020 election. NBC Universal News Group President apologized to staff for the decision. McDaniel, who previously faced pressure from Trump, was involved in attempts to overturn 2020 election results and pressured Michigan officials not to certify votes in Detroit. CAA, the agency that brokered her deal with NBC, also parted ways with her amidst the controversy.
