NBC News has announced the appointment of Ronna McDaniel, the erstwhile Chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), as a new on-air analyst. McDaniel is set to make her inaugural appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this coming Sunday, with further appearances planned across NBC, MSNBC, and NBC News Now.

Before her recent engagement with NBC News, McDaniel was at the helm of the Michigan Republican party, ascending to the RNC’s top position in 2017 and serving until her departure last month. This upcoming Sunday’s interview will mark her first public appearance since her exit from the RNC, with reports indicating that discussions for her NBC role had been underway prior to her official hiring.

Carrie Budoff Brown, NBC news senior vice president of politics, officially informed the staff of McDaniel’s inclusion in a memo on Friday. Budoff Brown emphasized the significance of McDaniel’s voice, especially at a time when the political landscape is heating up in anticipation of an extended general election period. She highlighted McDaniel’s near eight-year tenure at the forefront of American politics, her firsthand experience with (and responsible for the terrible performance of) the Republican Party during some of its most dynamic periods of loss, and her perspective as a longtime Michigan resident, which is particularly relevant given Michigan’s status as a crucial battleground state in the upcoming election.

The memo also underscored NBC News’s commitment to delivering comprehensive and nuanced reporting that captures the full spectrum of American political discourse. McDaniel joins a diverse roster of political commentators at NBC News, including Marc Short, Ben Rhodes, former Governor John Kasich, former Senator Claire McCaskill, David Plouffe, Brendan Buck, among others. This blend of voices is part of NBC’s broader strategy to provide in-depth reporting that bridges the gap between the electorate and the inner workings of political power in the United States.

Puppet’s Perspective:

It’s not a surprise that Ronna Romney McDaniel would land at a main stream media home. As head RINO she dragged the republican party down with erroneous spending, poor decision making and lackluster leadership all while essential pandering to the RINO political establishment. Now she’s home where she can shill for the deep state and pretend she’s on our side.
