Trump Campaign Shifts RNC Focus To Election Integrity

Donald Trump White house Republican presidential candidate Trump campaigns in New Hampshire

National Political reporter joining us. Let's talk for a minute, change gears, and talk about your reporting. As legal cases proceed against the former president, he is also moving forward with what is going to be the longest general election campaign. One of the key strategies being employed is the consolidation of power at the Republican National Committee (RNC).

In a departure from traditional campaign approaches, the current campaign aims to align closely with the RNC, with a specific focus on re-electing Donald Trump. This shift is notable as typically, the RNC has broader mandates that include supporting Republicans at various levels of government. However, the new team being installed by Trump at the RNC is emphasizing election integrity and fundraising over other traditional RNC activities like supporting lower-ticket candidates and news channel boosting.

While it is not uncommon for a sitting president to influence the RNC, the level of integration being sought by the Trump team is significant. The emphasis on election integrity is particularly noteworthy, with a stated goal of pursuing a more aggressive approach in this area. This aligns with the former president's concerns about the handling of the 2020 election and his desire for a more proactive stance on addressing claims of election fraud.

The push for a more robust election integrity division within the RNC and a heightened focus on this aspect of the committee's responsibilities could have implications for the upcoming general election. It signals a clear direction in which the campaign intends to move and underscores the importance placed on addressing perceived issues from the previous election cycle.
