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.
Those people are the reason for the “I’m not Trump” campaign from Biden. Why remind them that the Democrats wants to gasp help the poor
Campaigns can be persuasive. Biden and his surrogates could be out there making the case that helping the poor is the right thing to do. He could be educating people on the practical benefits of social safety nets, promoting ideologies based on empathy and economics.
But to do that, he would have to believe it. I don’t think Biden wants to help the poor. He will be attacked for it, anyway, and that’s part of what makes his a bad politician. He’s going to be criticized from both sides and accomplish nothing.
