At least three states are considering plans to cancel their 2020 GOP presidential primaries and caucuses, prompting both of Pres. Trump's in a move that could virtually cripple his long-shot primary opponents' chances in the upcoming election.
At least three states - Arizona, Kansas, and South Carolina - are considering plans to cancel their 2020 GOP presidential primaries and caucuses, prompting both of President Donald Trump's long-shot primary opponents to rail against the stunning, but not unprecedented move that would virtually cripple their chances.
Walsh blamed the president - even likening Trump to a king - and signaled his openness to legal action to fight back against the four states that are opting to forgo the primary process. The move follows a broad effort by the Republican National Committee to give"undivided support" to the president - even passing an unprecedented loyalty pledge earlier this year before he's the party's official nominee.
"Republicans and Democrats alike have opted out ... in previous election cycles: Democrats did so in 1996 with then-incumbent President Bill Clinton, and again in 2012 when President Obama was in office; Republicans opted out in 2004 when President Bush was up for re-election," said Republican Party of Arizona Chairman Kelli Ward."This is nothing new, despite the media's inauthentic attempt to portray it as such.
