The Republican National Committee withdrew a resolution to declare Donald Trump the party’s “presumptive 2024 nominee” before he formally secures the necessary delegates.

Trump himself suggested that the decision should not proceed for the sake of party unity.

The resolution aimed to move into full general election mode, welcoming supporters of all candidates as part of Team Trump 2024.

“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” Trump wrote.

“We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!”

Despite losing to Trump in Iowa and New Hampshire, Haley’s camp emphasized that Republican voters, not Washington insiders, should decide the nominee.

“Donald Trump’s threats highlight the stark choice in this election: personal vendettas or real conservative leadership,” Nikki Haley spokesperson AnnMarie Graham-Barnes said.

“Trump’s scheme blew up in his face. The contributions to the Haley campaign are pouring in — proof that people are sick of the drama and are rallying behind Nikki’s vision for a strong and proud America.”

The withdrawal was confirmed by a source familiar with the decision. The move would have solidified Trump’s control over the party, but Haley is still competing against Trump for the GOP nomination.

The RNC had signaled approval for the resolution, which was expected to be discussed at the RNC’s winter meeting.

“That’s something out of a ‘Godfather’ movie. Never betray the family? Come on,” T.J. Petrizzo said. “You’ve got to play this through.”

“I’ve heard a lot of elected officials in the Republican Party, including the RNC chair, say, ‘We need to rally around a candidate.’ That this is going to be our candidate. ‘It was chosen by Iowa and New Hampshire, so we must go ahead and rally around Trump,’” Petrizzo said.

“Well, there’s 285 days until the election. There’s plenty of time on the clock.”

Trump has 32 delegates to Haley’s 17, and there is one delegate left to be assigned after the New Hampshire contest.

Trump’s threats to bar donors from Haley’s campaign led to an influx of contributions, according to Haley’s campaign.

The situation highlights the choice between personal vendettas and conservative leadership in the election.
