Draft RNC resolution to slow party's embrace of Trump as nominee
A draft Republican National Committee resolution is proposed to delay the party's full embrace of Donald Trump as the nominee until he secures enough delegates. This move could slow down Trump's team from taking over the RNC, and there are discussions about new party leadership and potential challenges within the RNC.
Key Points
- Proposed resolution would delay full coordination between the RNC and Trump until he reaches 1,215 delegates
- Discussions about preventing RNC from paying Trump's legal bills and focusing spending on the 2024 election cycle
- Potential challenges in new party leadership if RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel resigns
Pros
- Maintains neutrality in the presidential primary until a nominee is clearly determined
- Prevents the RNC from coordinating with Trump or his campaign until he secures enough delegates
- Ensures a discussion about protecting the primary process while two candidates are still competing
Cons
- May lead to internal party disagreements and potential challenges for new leadership
- Could hinder the coordination between the Trump campaign and the RNC in fundraising efforts
- Might delay the process of Trump's team effectively taking over the RNC
