The Republican National Committee is meeting behind closed doors in Las Vegas this week.

The Republican National Committee is meeting behind closed doors this week as some allies of Donald Trump had hoped to put the group’s stamp on the former president early in the 2024 GOP presidential nominating campaign.

But a proposed resolution to declare Trump the presumptive nominee has been removed from the agenda before the committee is scheduled to meet in Las Vegas this week, party officials said.

The reversal comes as the first two early-state contests have winnowed the Republican campaign down to two major candidates, with Trump as the heavy favorite and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley vowing to continue her uphill challenge.

What was expected to be an uneventful RNC winter meeting in Las Vegas this week briefly gained heightened attention last week after the resolution, introduced by Maryland Committeeman David Bossie, to name Trump the presumptive nominee became public.

    I just wish Biden would run with her or Cheney instead of Harris. Best way to pause a war is to find a common enemy and this enemy is right there pestering us since way too long, why not take advantage of it

      You want biden to run with the woman who would not admit slavery was the cause of the the civil war until it became a national issue? Someone who is either racist or pandering to racists? That’s the person you want first in line to the presidency?

      And Cheney voted with the Trump admin 94% of the time. Having basic integrity doesnt mean she would support any democratic policies as president.

      Both would be terrible running mates, and equally terrible presidents.

        No, she’s terrible. But I don’t want to sweat bullets again in November wondering if trump might win, and I want the end of the 2 parties. I don’t see the republican pay dissolving into oblivion. What’s your solution? The status quo?

        Edit: and I’d take her over trump.

          So you want to elevate someone terrible into the Whitehouse in the off chance that it might help prevent someone terrible from being in the Whitehouse?

            Yes!

            Edit: it might actually shut up the far right and she seems more amenable to discussions.

              Shut up the far right? By elevating someone they hate? The people that gin up grievances about red coffee cups and holiday greetings?

              You can’t shut up people whose whole purpose is to be mad and loud.
