According to a NEWSMAX report, the RNC is moving forward with a plan to declare former President Donald Trump the official GOP nominee.
From NEWSMAX:
David Bossie, an RNC committee member from Maryland and Trump ally, proposed the draft resolution, The Dispatch reported Thursday. Bossie’s effort follows RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel saying after Trump defeated Haley in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday that it was time for Republicans to unite behind Trump and focus on defeating President Joe Biden.
…
Under RNC rules, Trump must win 1,215 delegates at the national convention July 15-18 in Milwaukee to secure the party’s nomination for the general election. After Trump won the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, he has 32 delegates and Haley has 17.
“RESOLVED that the Republican National Committee expresses heartfelt gratitude to all candidates who offered themselves in this long and arduous process,” the resolution reads.
“RESOLVED, that the Republican National Committee acknowledges and respects the commitment and contributions of all persons who worked tirelessly to support this nomination process, particularly the grassroots supporters of all candidates involved.
“RESOLVED that the Republican National Committee hereby declares President Trump as our presumptive 2024 nominee for the office of President of the United States and from this moment forward moves into full general election mode welcoming supporters of all candidates as valued members of Team Trump 2024.”
The RNC could take up the resolution as early as next week at the RNC winter meeting Jan. 30 to Feb. 3 in Las Vegas.
