At the request of former President Donald Trump, the RNC will hold off on a proposed resolution to officially declare him the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
Trump shared a message on TRUTH Social.
“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,” Trump said in the post.
“Thank you to the RNC for the Respect and Devotion you have shown me!”
From Fox News:
Trump’s statement pushes back on efforts led by a former aide of his campaign, David Bossie — an RNC committee member who has urged Republicans to rally around the former president despite the ongoing primary.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is facing growing calls for her to leave the 2024 presidential race as the RNC nearly considered a resolution to declare Trump the party’s presumptive nominee.
The RNC was set to consider a resolution that, if approved, would have declared Trump to be the party’s presumptive nominee for president in 2024. Fox News Digital obtained a copy of the resolution on Thursday, but it was later withdrawn.
