Republican Party leaders will not allow history to repeat of a showdown at the Republican National Convention to prevent former President Donald Trump from becoming the party’s nominee.
The party experienced a last-ditch effort from a group of delegates in 2016 trying to prevent Trump from being selected for the Republican presidential nomination. However, party members are not expecting any outbursts from delegates at this year’s convention, held July 15-18.
“It didn’t happen then, and it’s not going to happen now,” David Bossie, a Trump ally and RNC member from Maryland, told NBC News. “There is no one who is going to attempt to do that. … There’s none of that conversation that has happened in here. Not one iota of it.”
