The answer to the 'Trump is gone. Why do you keep talking about him' bleat of his sheep. We have said 'because he still has much
influence,' before, but this from a million dollar donor (at least former) to the RNC, and from the RNC chair horse's mouth
""We're getting tarred with this big lie and this claim of election fraud, and that is
damaging our most important institution in our country -- belief in elections," Rooney said.
The RNC's financial support of Trump's legal bills also complicates the party's vow to remain neutral ahead of nominating process for the 2024 presidential election. "The party has to stay neutral. I'm not telling anybody to run or not to run in 2024," RNC Chairman Ronna McDaniel said last January. She has since reaffirmed that Trump "still leads the party.""
Aside: Ronna McDaniel their chairman, eh. Surely simply 'chair' would be more appropriate for the woman.
