New RNC memo gives details of merger with Trump campaign

Source: CNN Politics

Published 11:45 PM EDT, Thu March 14, 2024


CNN — Republican National Committee members have received a three-page memo from Chairman Michael Whatley announcing and explaining various aspects of the RNC’s merger with the Trump campaign.

The memo arrives days after former President Donald Trump clinched the GOP nomination and nearly a week after Donald Trump’s handpicked team took the reins. “As is tradition and governed by applicable law, the RNC is merging operations with the Trump campaign. We are now a united operation, and a united front,” Whatley wrote.

Whatley and Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, were elected to succeed the outgoing chair and co-chair without any challengers on March 8. The memo highlights the committee’s key priorities, including a focus on claims of election fraud.

“Our election integrity priorities this cycle will include a broader effort over the coming months to challenge voter identification and signature verification rules which were put into place for the 2020 election. The RNC’s new posture as it relates to this litigation will be an aggressive, proactive effort to ensure that it will be easy to vote and hard to cheat,” Whatley wrote.

L'État, c'est moi ("I am the state", lit. "the state, that is me&quot is an apocryphal saying attributed to Louis XIV, King of France and Navarre. It was allegedly said on 13 April 1655 before the Parlement of Paris.[1] It is supposed to recall the primacy of the royal authority in a context of defiance with the Parliament, which contests royal edicts taken in lit de justice on 20 March 1655.[2] The phrase symbolizes absolute monarchy and absolutism.

Does this happen with the DNC too?

No rules about not touching him or looking him in the eye? They didn't even mention having to stand up when the stinking Nazi enters a room.

I think there are a few more memoes coming out. Lara will get on that right away.

Except the RNC doesn't like early voting.

When are they going to change the name from the Republican National Cmmittee to the Trump National Cmmittee?

Might as well call a spade a spade, right, Lara?
