RNC Infighting Breaks Out

“An all-out internal power struggle has erupted at the Republican National Committee, just days before a critical party gathering in Florida, as the head of the RNC’s powerful rules committee has accused his own party leadership of a ‘major breach of trust’ in trying to block a rule change that he said would make it harder to reopen the GOP nomination fight at a contested convention this summer,” Politico reports.

“At issue: a controversial proposal that would drastically alter how the convention would function, changing the underlying rule book for proceedings — and potentially affecting whether party insiders could draft a so-called white knight at a deadlocked convention.”
