Martin Andrew McKissick is an American politician who has served as chair of the South Carolina Republican Party since 2017. In 2023 he was re-elected to his fourth term in the office. McKissick also served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee from 2023 to 2024, when he was replaced by Lara Trump.

Career

McKissick was endorsed by Donald Trump during a previous challenge for state party chair. Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy floated McKissick's name as a replacement for national Republican Party Chair Ronna McDaniel. McKissick was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee on January 28, 2023. McKissick was widely quoted after the 2022 South Carolina general election produced what many news outlets called a 'red wave', with a number of Democratic Party legislators losing their seats, and Republicans gaining a super majority in the state legislature. On February 26, 2024, McKissick submitted his resignation as Republican National Committee co-chair, stating that he would be working with the Trump Campaign and the RNC to win both the Senate and the White House.
