RNC chief declines to back Trump run

-

The head of the Republican National Committee declined to encourage former President Donald Trump to run for the White House in 2024, saying the GOP would stay “neutral” in its next presidenti­al primary.

RNC Chairman Ronna McDaniel also described the pro

Trump conspiracy theory group known as QAnon as “dangerous.“

The national GOP, under McDaniel’s leadership, spent the past four years almost singularly focused on Trump’s 2020 re-election. But should he run again in 2024 — and he has publicly and privately suggested he wants to — the national party infrastruc­ture wouldn’t support his ambitions over other prospectiv­e candidates in accordance with party rules, she said.
