COLUMBIA, S.C. — A prominent Republican National Committee member is proposing two resolutions that would put some distance between the national party and former President Donald Trump — at least for a little bit longer.
The first resolution from Henry Barbour — a longtime member from Mississippi — would prohibit the national party from coordinating with Trump or fundraising with his campaign until he wins enough delegates to be the party’s presumptive nominee.
The draft resolution, in part, states: “The Republican National Committee and its leadership will stay neutral throughout the Presidential primary and not take on additional staff from any of the active Presidential campaigns until a nominee is clearly determined by reaching 1,215 delegates.”
Although Trump has won all of the Republican Party’s primaries and caucuses so far, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has insisted that she plans to stay in the race awhile longer.
Trump has already proposed that his current campaign co-manager, Chris LaCivita, take the reins of the RNC as its chief operating officer. This proposed resolution would slow down the process of Trump’s team effectively taking over the RNC.
Unlike the Biden campaign and the DNC, the Trump campaign and the RNC have yet to launch a joint fundraising committee, which allows the two entities to better coordinate and advance mutual financial interests.
The Trump campaign released a statement Saturday expressing its disapproval of Barbour's measure.
“The primary is over and it is the RNC’s sole responsibility to defeat Joe Biden and win back the White House," LaCivita said. "Efforts to delay that assist Joe Biden in the destruction of our nation. Republicans cannot stand on the sidelines and allow this to happen.”
Barbour is also proposing a second resolution that would bar the RNC from paying Trump’s legal bills.

So sick of these evil, DS RINO globalists.
What a chump I was way. Ack decades ago when I considered Haley Barbour some kind of cool guy.
Same goes for his relatives, dirty Vichy Quisling bastards all.
“Way back”
The only people who hate Trump more than the DNC is the RNC.
Draft resolution by conservative voters indicates we stay home Election Day so the useless RINOs from Senate to dog catcher races can go pound sand to the unemployment lines
I am starting to think that the Titanic is at the bottom of the Swamp.
They hate a candidate who isn’t controlled.
NBC. This isn’t news. It’s far left commie misinformation.
Sounds like it’s time for an idiot RINO RNC Board Member to
retire.
What’s an RNC?
The scenario is Harris (or whoever) versus a loveable loser RINO.
Their the people who call me every day asking for money.
I tell them no and to stop calling me.
But every day they do.
Strange.
It is amazing how all the American hating powermongers keep outing themselves because of Trump.
It is about control and power, Trump obviously interrupted decades of coronating presidents and it has the entire deep state in a tantrum.
I used the foulest language when the RNC called me. If they think Donald Trump will ride their coattails, they are sadly mistaken. What losers.
Used to be RNC pretended to be conservative B4 elections to take the votes. Then turn the backs on any agenda. Now the won’t even hide their disdain for conservatives B4 elections when the need the votes. Don’t send $$$ to these stupid people more than half of which gets paid by RNC but works for DNC
The most important thing now is to be discerning about the current lot.
Who talks a good game, but is actually Swamp.
The best analysis is to ignore their speeches, and look at their donors.
Yet another old Bushie operative at work.
the state is Deep.....
