The Republican National Committee (RNC) has dodged a bullet when it comes to paying former President Donald Trump’s legal bills, as resolutions proposed to block such spending failed to gain support. Henry Barbour, a national committeeman from Mississippi, tried to put a stop to the RNC covering Trump’s legal fees, but his attempts were shot down faster than a clay pigeon at a country club. The legal fee resolution is as lifeless as a wilted flower, according to Barbour.
Now that the dust has settled, the RNC can focus on more important matters, like electing a new chairperson in Houston. Current Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel decided to pack her bags and head out, leaving the door wide open for someone new to take the reins. The RNC can now turn its attention to ensuring that Trump is the nominee, just as he deserves. The idea of putting any distance between Trump and the committee is as futile as a cat trying to resist a juicy mouse.
Speaking of Trump, he has already made it clear who he wants to see succeed McDaniel. He’s throwing his weight behind RNC general counsel Michael Whatley, and for co-chairwoman, he’s pulling nepotism from his hat by picking his own daughter-in-law, Lara Trump. And hey, who can blame him? She’s made it abundantly clear that she’ll do whatever it takes to get dear old dad-in-law reelected, even if it means spending every last penny in the RNC piggy bank.
Sure, Trump and his 2024 campaign might have had a fantastic Super Tuesday, sweeping all but one state contest. But let’s not forget the elephant in the room – his whopping legal bills. If the RNC were to swoop in like a knight in shining armor and save the day by footing the bill, it would be like the closing scene of a superhero movie. And let’s face it, Trump could use all the financial help he can get, especially with a potential face-off against President Joe Biden on the horizon.
When the Washington Examiner tried to get a comment from the RNC about the failed resolutions, they were probably met with silence as thick as a fog. After all, when the going gets tough, the tough get going, leaving no time for chit-chat.
