Well, she is Mitch’s niece.

Mitt's niece. And she was President Trump's hand-picked choice to lead the RNC.

So if he runs on a GOP ticket, the RNC won’t back their own candidate? How messed up is that?

The article does not say that. This is not a new policy. When there is no incumbent President in the primary the RNC is neutral. When there is an incumbent President they support him. So what is so shocking about a policy that has been around long before Trump or McDaniel came on the political scene still being around?

So, won’t ALL the primary candidates be running on the GOP ticket?

It’s not messed up. It’s how it is supposed to work in the primaries.
