Looking to find out how enthusiastic the Republican National Committee’s delegates are for disgraced former President Trump’s 2024 campaign, the New York Times called, emailed, and texted all 168 of them and got only four to reply with “an unabashed endorsement” of the twice-impeached loser’s comeback bid. Another 20 who answered said he shouldn’t be the nominee and 35 of them said they would want to see a big primary field. The rest did not respond to the Times.
Some of those that did grant interview estimated that as many as 120 to 140 other members are opposed to Trump 2024. Of course it doesn’t actually matter, since the RNC delegates don’t decide who the nominee is, it’s the primary voters – who would almost certainly pick Trump if all the primaries were held now. But the article quotes more than a handful of the delegates – by name – wary of a third campaign centered around the unhinged orange maniac doing more and more damage to the GOP’s appeal to independent voters every single fucking day for the next 22 months.
