“Chaos broke out at the Republican National Convention Monday after Republican leaders successfully blocked a full floor vote on the convention rules,” Politico reports.
Washington Post: “A renegade group of delegates seeking to force a rules vote that would have embarrassed top party officials and Donald Trump on the first day of their national meeting were rebuffed by convention officials, prompting an outcry and triggering a disorderly sequence of events on the floor.”
New York Times: “Initially there appeared to be at least nine states that agreed to the roll call vote, meeting the threshold of seven required under party rules. But faced with the possibility of a runaway start to the convention, the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee staffers working the floor went into overdrive to get delegates to withdraw their support. In the end, only six states consented.”
The Hill: “After being denied the roll call vote, most of the delegation from Colorado walked off the floor in protest, leaving behind rows of empty seats.”
