New Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley will resign from his other position leading the North Carolina GOP later this month.

More than 60 people were fired, including senior staff in the political data and communications departments, according to a person familiar with the layoffs.

Michael Whatley, a North Carolina Republican who has echoed Trump’s false theories of voter fraud, was elected the party’s new national chairman in a vote Friday morning in Houston. Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, was voted in as co-chair.

Michael Whatley, the chairman of North Carolina's Republican Party, has been named by Donald Trump as his pick to lead the Republican National Committee. The former president celebrated Whatley's experience with combating voter fraud. Yet for some conservatives in Whatley's home state, the announcement was ironic.

The North Carolina Republican Party has formed a committee to address what they are calling “election integrity” in next year's election.

State Republicans selected a new chairman during their convention Saturday to replace the former chairman who is now under indictment.
