Following the recent leadership overhaul at the Republican National Committee (RNC), orchestrated by former President Donald Trump, a significant number of staff layoffs, reportedly as many as 60 staffers, have been reported. Trump's new leadership team, which includes allies and family members in key positions, initiated the firing of dozens of employees across various departments in a move described as the political equivalent of 'shock and awe', signaling a major shift in the GOP's political and fundraising machinery. Among those let go were the committee's state and regional political directors. This move has raised concerns among some former officials regarding the future support for down-ballot candidates. Additionally, the RNC has hired Charlie Spies, known for his work with Jeb Bush and Ron DeSantis, as chief counsel, and former OANN anchor Christina Bobb as a senior counsel for election issues. The restructuring has also led to the cancellation of a minority outreach program that was previously planned for expansion.
