A draft resolution that would have led the Republican National Committee to declare Donald Trump the GOP's presumptive 2024 presidential nominee has been withdrawn, NBC News reported.
The reversal from David Bossie, the RNC committeeman who was circulating the resolution ahead of the RNC's winter meeting in Las Vegas next week, came after Trump said he opposed the proposal. Trump in a Truth Social post Thursday evening said that "for the sake of PARTY UNITY," the RNC "should NOT go forward with this plan."
Trump said he wants to "do it the 'Old Fashioned' way, and finish the process off AT THE BALLOT BOX."
The resolution would have declared Trump the nominee even as his rival, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, is still vying for the nomination.
The two-page draft notes that Trump easily won the Iowa caucuses and Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, and that he leads in the polls of upcoming primary states, including Haley's home state of South Carolina.
It argues that "any money spent from this moment forward in the primary process is better spent fighting the democrats by focusing on President Biden's deadly border crisis, failed economic policies and disastrous and dangerous foreign policy."
While the RNC still requires a candidate to win a majority of state delegates in order to clinch the nomination, the resolution underscores the Republican Party's increasing commitment to crowning Trump, not Haley, its champion against President Joe Biden in 2024.

Good! 18 states have downballot races same day as the presidential primary.
Exactly why I never donate tothe RNC. President Trump and a handful of Republicans are true Americans.
a+ for DJT
I always thought the roll call was the most interesting part of the convention.
Excellent.
The RNC by making their proposal and then by withdrawing it, showed their commitment to The 45th President’s Campaign and his 2nd Term.
MAGA voters will be allowed to run up an insurmountable amount of delegates, which will neutralize any shenanigans by anti Trump Republicans at the Convention.
Wise! Never give political donations to anybody, anything other than YOUR target candidate. The leaches take a cut.
Ping
Ain’t going to happen with Mitten’s baby running the RNC, she has her orders to follow.
Yeah, and he's a crusty old poopy pants to boot.
Wise move.
You are a member of the "serf" class...
They don't want or need your money.
They just want you controlled, irrelevant...
...or dead.
I have yet to find a way to donate to Trump that DOESN’T end up in the hands of WINRED.
Trump said he wants to “do it the ‘Old Fashioned’ way, and finish the process off AT THE BALLOT BOX.”

Wow, what a dictator he is!
Lol . Donnie who want the entire state of FL to pick up 5 M of his
Legal fees .
Suck Eggs Egomaniac. .
Winred processes donations to Trump and many other candidates. I have in the past just paid for election advertising on my own. Smaller scale, of course.
There are probably PACs that don’t use Winred, but they might not be any better. Donations to someplace like Heartland Institute might actually give better support to Trump’s issues.
She has already said Republicans need to unite for Trump.
Quote from The Conservative Treehouse:
John Bingham, framer of 14th Amend. – “I do not stand here to cavil with men who are not read in the horn-books of the law; but I assert that every man born within the limits of the Republic, or under its flag at sea, of parents who were not the subjects of any other sovereignty, are, in the very words of the Constitution, natural born citizens.”
Rep Bingham quote is from Cong. Globe, 37th, 2nd Sess., 407 (1862)
Enter in 407, click Turn to image, and look at the end of the first and beginning of the second column:

“Haley’s parents were Indian immigrants who did not become U.S. citizens until after her birth in 1972. Her father, Ajit Randhawa, became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1978, Haley’s office said. Her mother, Raj Randhawa, became a U.S. citizen in 2003, a year before Haley won a seat in the S.C. House.”
A lawsuit might be started in New York State to get money contributed to her campaign from state residents back, which would be a proper use of its law IMO.
Bet she gritted her teeth when she said it.
