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.

I would love a third party, problem is we need a second party first of all.
Looser RINOs, in a bunch.
They only hate Trump because he’s not a neocon who wants to send OUR money and brave men and women to DIE in foreign lands
Uni Party scum.
Some patriots should set up a RINOpedia for these clowns’ biographies.
Haley Barbour, perpetual loser.
Honestly, I thought he died. Too bad he’s still wasting air.
Uses politics to ask for a reach around from his democrat masters, just like a good Bushie would. NEVER would the democrats pass such garbage if their perspective party nominee was so certain. They don’t back stab each other in public like the Republicans do.
The RNC is obviously not reading the comments on their returned mail. They don’t care.
Their primary reason for existence is to raise funds and get Republicans elected. They’ve failed miserably at both of those priorities.
Henry Barbour?
Wasn’t he good friends with the Chairman of the Arizona Republican GOP, Mr. Jeff DeWit, who was caught attempting to commit election fraud by manipulating and bribing Kari Lake to stop her run for the U.S. Senate.
Oh, goody. Encourage Nikki Haley to be a spoiler. How many delegates does she have now? Zero? One?
What an A-hole.
Don’t donate to the RNC.
I know it’s not logical, and it’s probably NOT going to happen in my lifetime, but we Conservatives NEED A NEW PARTY!
These useless, Quisling ‘Whigs’ need to be FLUSHED!
What’s the rush? Doesn’t everyone get to have a say?
Is Donny running out of money?
The RNC is obviously not reading the comments on their returned mail. They don’t care.

@@@@@@@
There only purpose is to get RINOs elected. This is why they stab MAGA candidates in the back at every level. If not assimilated one cannot be part of the party.
WWG1WGA!
Regret will soon follow his pronouncement.
I bet this barbour nitwit is an oldiebutmoldie and identifies with his pal biden...in more ways than one.
Could the rnc be more worthless?
My donations go only to one destination,,,dorectly into the Trump Campaign coffers.
RNC be damned.
Should be (obviously) could he be more worthless?
