A draft resolution before the Republican National Committee (RNC) would, if approved, label former President Trump as the party’s presumptive nominee for 2024.
The Dispatch first reported that David Bossie, an RNC committee member from Maryland, submitted a resolution that aims to declare Trump “as our presumptive 2024 nominee for the office of President of the United States” and kick the RNC into “full general election mode welcoming supporters of all candidates as valued members of Team Trump 2024.”
Trump has secured only 32 delegates at this early point in the presidential nominating cycle, out of 1,215 needed to win the nomination, but he and his allies are touting his back-to-back wins in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary this month, and pointing to his front-runner status in polling in the states ahead.
“Resolutions, such as this one, are brought forward by members of the RNC. Chairwoman [Ronna] McDaniel doesn’t offer resolutions,” RNC spokesperson Keith Schipper said in a statement to The Hill.
