NBC Rethinks Hiring of Ex-RNC Chair McDaniel Following Backlash

NBC News is re-evaluating its hiring of former Republican National Committee head Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor following a major internal backlash from some of the network’s top on-air personalities.

The network is expected to make a decision about the hiring shortly, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified. Puck reported earlier Tuesday that the network, owned by Comcast Corp., planned to drop McDaniel.
