Trump allegiance encouraged but not required for RNC campaign funds
By Seth McLaughlin - The Washington Times - Updated: 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 National Republicans won’t demand that candidates declare allegiance to President Trump in order to get financial backing this year, the party’s main political committees tell The Washington Times.
Mitt Romney, seeking a Senate nomination in Utah, was the latest prominent figure to refuse to commit to supporting Mr. Trump in 2020, sparking questions over how far the Republican Party will go in demanding loyalty to its titular leader.
The Republican National Committee — run by Trump pick Ronna Romney McDaniel, who is also Mr. Romney’s niece — said there is no litmus test, though the RNC said supporting the president is the right move.
“President Trump has an unparalleled ability to rally the base of the Republican Party, and we always advise Republicans to support the President as he fights for all Americans,†said Steve Guest, a party spokesman.
