One of the two resolutions, both obtained by the Dispatch, would recommit the RNC to neutrality until a candidate \u2063has amassed the necessary 1,215 required\u200b delegates\u2063 and would prevent current campaign staff from joining RNC leadership\u200d until a candidate has reached the threshold.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>RESOLVED<\/strong>, That the Republican \u2064National Committee and its leadership will stay neutral throughout the Presidential primary\u200c and not take on additional staff from any\u200d of the active Presidential campaigns until a nominee is clearly determined by reaching 1,215 delegates,&#8221; the draft resolution said, \u200bper the \u200boutlet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s \u200cslate of endorsements for RNC leadership includes\u2064 his co-campaign manager\u200c Chris LaCivita, who the\u200d former president has endorsed to be the committee&#8217;s COO. The other picks by Trump include North Carolina\u2063 Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley for \u200dchairman and his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, for co-chairwoman.<\/p>\n<p>The other resolution obtained by the Dispatch would \u200caffirm that the RNC &#8220;will \u2064not pay the legal bills of any of \u2062our candidates for any federal or state office, but will focus our spending on \u200befforts directly related to the \u200b2024 election cycle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In response to the &#8220;absurd&#8221; proposals, LaCivita declared Saturday that the primary \u200dwas &#8220;over&#8221; and argued efforts\u2064 to delay defeating President \u2062Joe Biden \u2062and working to win in November would assist the &#8220;destruction of our nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The primary is over, and it is the \u200bRNC&#8217;s sole responsibility to defeat Joe Biden and win back the\u2062 White House. Efforts to delay that assist Joe Biden in the destruction of our nation. Republicans cannot stand on the\u2063 sidelines and allow this to happen,&#8221; \u200dLaCivita said in a \u2062statement.<\/p>\n<p>LaCivita said on Friday to NBC News that the RNC \u200cwould not use funds to pay for Trump&#8217;s legal fees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The RNC&#8217;s next meeting is scheduled for March 7-9. McDaniel has not announced her intention to resign, \u200bbut rumors have suggested she may step down after the GOP&#8217;s South Carolina presidential\u200d primary\u200d \u2014 which happened on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner reached out to the RNC and Barbour for comment.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2064 How does the first resolution aim\u2062 to uphold \u200cfairness and impartiality within the Republican National Committee during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-could-earn-boost-from-swing-state-primary-process-rnc-helped-craft-report\/\" title=\"Report: Swing-state primary process crafted by RNC could give Trump a significant boost.\">presidential primary process<\/a>?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  >,&#8221; the first\u200c resolution reads, &#8220;that the \u200dRepublican National Committee hereby commits to remaining neutral in the presidential primary process \u200cunless and until a candidate has secured the \u2062necessary 1,215 delegates to win\u2064 the \u2063nomination on the first ballot at\u2063 the\u2064 national convention.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This resolution is seen \u2064as an attempt to maintain fairness\u2064 and impartiality \u200cwithin the RNC, ensuring that the\u2062 party does not endorse any particular candidate\u200b before the primary process has been completed. It aims to uphold\u200b the democratic principles of the Republican Party by allowing \u200dall presidential hopefuls to compete on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/so-easy-i-was-cruising-teammate-says-penns-trans-swimmer-boasted-after-destroying-competition\/\" title=\"\u2018So Easy I Was Cruising\u2019: Teammate Says Penn\u2019s Trans Swimmer Boasted After Destroying Competition\">equal playing field<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The second resolution focuses on financial matters, specifically restricting the use \u200dof RNC funds for Donald Trump&#8217;s legal fees. After his presidency, Trump has faced numerous legal \u200bchallenges, including impeachment trials, ongoing \u2063investigations, and civil suits. Some argue that \u200dit \u200dis not the \u2062responsibility of the RNC to financially\u200c support these\u2064 legal\u200d battles.<\/p>\n<p>While \u2062the\u2062 RNC has previously covered legal expenses for \u200cits candidates, \u2064including\u200b former presidents, there is a growing sentiment within the\u2063 committee that it \u200dis\u2063 time\u2062 to change this practice. \u200bSupporters of the \u200dresolution believe that the RNC should prioritize its resources \u200ctowards party-building activities and supporting candidates who align\u200c with its values, rather\u2062 than \u200dshouldering the burden of legal expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the resolutions are not without their critics. Some argue that the RNC should continue to \u2063back Trump, as he remains a popular figure within \u2063the Republican Party \u200dand\u2063 retains\u2062 a significant base of support. They believe that restricting financial support for\u2063 Trump&#8217;s legal battles could\u200c be seen as turning their backs on a former president and hindering party unity.<\/p>\n<p>However, proponents of the resolutions\u200d argue that it \u2064is crucial for the RNC to \u2064maintain neutrality \u2063and \u200bfocus on the party&#8217;s \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/greta-thunberg-is-wrong-americans-should-be-first-in-line-for-american-made-vaccines\/\" title=\"Greta Thunberg Is Wrong. Americans Should Be First In Line For American-Made Vaccines.\">long-term goals<\/a>. \u2064They believe that by staying neutral \u200cand not favoring\u200b any particular candidate, the RNC can maintain its credibility and reputation as a fair and democratic institution.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming RNC meeting will play a crucial role in determining the direction of \u200bthe Republican Party and its relationship with Donald Trump. Whether\u200d these resolutions gain sufficient support and are ultimately \u200bpassed will have significant\u200b implications for the party&#8217;s future. The debate over these resolutions highlights the ongoing divisions \u2063within the Republican Party and the challenges \u200dit faces in finding\u200c a balance between loyalty to\u2063 its past\u2062 leaders \u200band charting a new course for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two resolutions by Republican National Committeeman Henry Barbour aim to block funds for ex-President Donald Trump&#8217;s legal expenses and maintain RNC&#8217;s neutrality during the primary.
