Former President Donald Trump declined an offer by the Republican National Committee (RNC) to declare him the presumptive nominee after his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire. Maryland RNC committeeman David Bossie introduced the resolution, and withdrew it after Trump stated on Truth Social he preferred to win the nomination through the primary elections.
While I greatly appreciate the Republican National Committee (RNC) wanting to make me their PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE, and while they have far more votes than necessary to do it, I feel, 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. Thank you to the RNC for the Respect and Devotion you have shown me! TRUMP2024″
Haley spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas dismissed the RNC, saying millions of Republican voters would decide the GOP nominee, telling Axios, “Who cares what the R.N.C. says? We’ll let millions of Republican voters across the country decide who should be our party’s nominee, not a bunch of Washington insiders.”
