Abbott, Cruz To Attend January RNC Meeting With Possible 2024 Contenders

[#TexasPolitics365] 


Politico reports that Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel is inviting roughly a dozen potential 2024 presidential candidates to the RNC's January meeting in Amelia Island, Florida - and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is going, too, along with Sen. Ted Cruz.

It's the most explicit move the Trump-appointed chair has made to show that the committee will be impartial going forward and not simply an extension of Trump’s political machine, even as he openly mulls a comeback bid.

The list of would-be candidates invited to speak includes South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley. Vice President Mike Pence, another potential contender, is planning to attend. Trump is also invited, though spokespersons declined to say whether he’d be going.
