Ronna McDaniel announced Monday that she will step down as chair of the Republican National Committee next week, after seven years in the role.

She plans to leave on March 8, just three days after Super Tuesday.

"I have decided to step aside at our spring training on March 8 in Houston to allow our nominee to select a chair of their choosing," McDaniel said in a statement. "The R.N.C. has historically undergone change once we have a nominee, and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition.

"I remain committed to winning back the White House and electing Republicans up and down the ballot in November."
