=== Hiring of Ronna McDaniel ===
In March 2024, NBC News hired [[Ronna McDaniel]], the former chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) from 2017 to 2024. The hire stirred controversy, as McDaniel had been a staunch [[Donald Trump]] loyalist during her tenure at the RNC. She made false claims of voter fraud after Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, which she sought to overturn.<ref>{{Cite news |date=25 March 2024|accessdate= 26 March 2024 |title=NBC News Faces Rebellion Over Hiring of Former Republican Party Chair | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/25/business/media/nbc-ronna-mcdaniel-rebellion.html |first=Michael M. | last=Grynbaum| work=New York Times}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite news |last3=McCormick |first1=Isabella|last1= Simonetti| first2= Joe|last2= Flint| first3=John |title=Rachel Maddow Joins Growing Mutiny at MSNBC Over Hiring of Ronna McDaniel |url=https://www.wsj.com/business/media/msnbcs-joe-scarborough-and-mika-brzezinski-condemn-hiring-of-ronna-mcdaniel-125ac4ad |date=25 March 2024|accessdate= 26 March 2024 |work=WSJ |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Full-scale revolt: MSNBC personalities object to NBC News' hiring of Ronna McDaniel as a contributor |url=https://apnews.com/article/nbc-news-mcdaniel-todd-election-fraud-683aa560f0824725023dacde0f504ad6 |access-date=2024-03-26 |date = 2024-03-26|first=David|last=Bauder|website=AP News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Barr |first=Jeremy |date=2024-03-26 |accessdate=2024-03-26 | title=NBC facing on-air ‘insurrection’ over hiring of Ronna McDaniel |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/03/25/rachel-maddow-ronna-mcdaniel-msnbc-pundits-object/ |work=Washington Post |language=en-US |issn=0190-8286}}</ref> 

After she was hired by NBC, McDaniel backtracked on her claims, saying that Biden won the 2020 election "fair and square" and condemned political violence.<ref name=":1" /> She said of her conduct as RNC chair, "When you’re the RNC chair, you — you kind of take one for the whole team, right? Now I get to be a little bit more myself."<ref>{{Cite news |date=2024 |title=Ronna McDaniel said the quiet part out loud on NBC |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/25/ronna-mcdaniel-nbc-trump-00148926 |work=Politico}}</ref>
