The newly installed chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) is already backing down from his pledge to spend âevery dayâ of 2024 to elect presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump as president again to instead spend most of Tuesday trying to save the embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson from justice, a report from Politico Playbook on Wednesday shows.

He delivered his pointed message to her personally: Don't move against Johnson,â Politico Playbook reported on Wednesday morning.... (more, at link) ...
