Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel will formally resign her position after the Super Tuesday primaries on March 5.
The announcement comes weeks after Trump revealed his recommendations for changes within the RNC earlier this month. He proposed that North Carolina GOP chair Michael Whatley take over as chairman, while his daughter-in-law Lara Trump and campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita also receive leadership positions.
"The idea that there is a resolution out there in the RNC saying 'Donald Trump can't use [the RNC] for his legal slush fund' – and he's upset that that was proposed – tells you everything you need to know," Haley continued.

Nearly 800 delegates are up for grabs on Super Tuesday, with over 150 at stake over the following two weeks. Among the states holding contests on Super Tuesday are delegate-rich California and Texas, while other big states like Florida, Illinois and Ohio will hold winner-take-all primaries on March 19. Polling in many of those states indicates Trump holds large leads over Haley.
The Trump campaign predicted in its memo that the former president would secure the nomination on March 19, even under a "most generous model" for Haley.
"Let’s see if it happens," Haley quickly responded when asked by Fox News what she would do if Trump clinches the nomination next month.
