RNC Chair McDaniel Affirms Support for Trump as Nominee

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said Sunday that if the voters choose former President Donald Trump as the party’s 2024 presidential nominee, she’ll support him, even if he’s convicted of a crime in one of the prosecutions underway against him. McDaniel made the comments on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

According to all current polling, Trump is the clear front-runner for the nomination.

McDaniel also discussed the party’s stance on abortion, telling CNN that she believes the Republicans should be the “commonsense” party on abortion and that candidates should stick to that message to win elections in the future.

Meanwhile, Ohio voters last Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to embed the right to an abortion in the state’s constitution, but McDaniel said she thinks there was a “message problem” in the way the issue was presented.

Commonsense limitations, she added, is “where the country is.”
