RNC Prepares to Rewrite Convention Rules

“The Republican National Committee is expected to debate a proposal next week that would dramatically shift the balance of power at this summer’s convention — and impose a new rulebook for selecting the party’s nominee,” Politico reports.

“The proposal… would fundamentally alter how the convention is conducted, further empowering the delegates to determine the course of the proceedings. It amounts to not just a changing of the rules but of the rulebook itself, with far-reaching implications, potentially impacting whether party insiders will be able to draft a so-called ‘white knight’ — someone currently not running who would play the role of savior at a deadlocked convention.”
