Ted Cruz backers seek control of Republican National Convention
- 8 years ago
Supporters of ex-Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz won't let the Texas senator go down without a fight.
Currently, they're looking to seize control of the Republican platform and the rules governing the party’s July convention in a move that will thwart Donald Trump's effort to capture Cruz's delegates.
In an email sent Sunday to pro-Cruz convention delegates, a top aide to the Texas senator wrote that it was “still possible to advance a conservative agenda at the convention.”
Mr. Cruz’s supporters and other conservative activists are also deeply concerned about Mr. Trump’s general election agenda, and want to ensure that he does not alter the party’s platform.
