"RNC Backlash: Trump Ally Withdraws Plan to Declare Him Presumptive GOP Nominee"
A resolution to declare Donald Trump the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee was withdrawn after objections from Trump himself. The proposal, presented to the Republican National Committee, was circulated by Trump ally David Bossie, but Trump expressed his desire to become the nominee "at the ballot box" rather than through the resolution. Pressure is mounting on Nikki Haley, Trump's last remaining rival, to drop out of the race, but she remains defiant, stating that Republican voters should decide the nominee. Trump has threatened Haley's donors and wants to knock her out of the race before the next major contest in her home state of South Carolina.
