President-elect Donald Trump plans to name Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel as the national party chairwoman, after the party carrying Michigan for the first time in 28 years.

A person familiar with Trump’s decision confirmed the choice of McDaniel to serve as Republican National Committee chairwoman.

Last week, Trump said to thousands at Deltaplex Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that, “Ronna McDaniel, what a great job you and your people have done.”  “I was very impressed with you. She didn’t sleep for six months!”

McDaniel said that, “They said a Republican could never win Michigan.”  “I knew better. You knew better and Donald Trump knew better.”

Henry Barbour, a Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi, said that, “I think she can help us hold a lot of these Rust Belt Democrats who voted for Donald Trump with good leadership and execution.”  “Plus, she was willing to step out and support our nominee when her very famous uncle was doing the opposite. Now, that’s leadership,” said Barbour.

Ivanka might become Trump's first lady, instead Melania!
