The Republican National Committee has pulled a resolution to consider declaring Donald Trump the party’s “presumptive 2024 nominee” before he formally clinches the requisite number of delegates, a person familiar with the decision said Thursday.
News of the withdrawal came shortly after Trump posted on his Truth Social site that, while he “greatly” appreciated the notion, he felt, “for the sake of PARTY UNITY, that they should NOT go forward with this plan, but that I should do it the ‘Old Fashioned’ way, and finish the process off AT THE BALLOT BOX.”
The measure, according to a draft obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, had said it “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 withdrawal was confirmed by a person familiar with the decision who was not authorized to publicly discuss the proposal and spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday night.
I’m sorry… you think Republican rank-and-file voters are smart?
Oof, okay, when you put it like that…
For real, I think the Haley segment of Republican voters are better political strategists than the Trump segment, but that’s all I’m saying. I certainly don’t think any of them are smart when it comes to policy preferences.
You lost me right there. You think they even know what a political strategy is? Heck, strategy is a 3-syllable word. They can’t even count that high. Why do you think Haley uses “Nikki” instead of “Nimarata”? Way too many syllables.
That, and I guarantee people would start calling her “nimrod”.
You mean Nimrod, the mighty hunter? Sounds like a name a republican could resurrect with a little careful thought and planning.
