The GOP Faces A Unique Dilemma Ahead Of Trump’s Sentencing
HuffPost
Officials say they’re making contingency plans in case the former president is in jail when the GOP convention starts.
Among all of the other questions raised by former President Donald Trump’s felony conviction, there’s one prickly issue still facing planners of the July GOP national convention: What to do if Trump is in jail when it starts?
Trump’s sentencing date, July 11, is only a few days before the start of the party convention in Milwaukee on July 15. He could end up behind bars by the time the convention starts. The odds of that happening are slim-to-none, but that hasn’t stopped GOP officials from musing about what to do.
“We’re working on that now,” Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley said on Newsmax in early June.
“We expect that Donald Trump is going to be in Milwaukee and he’s going to be able to accept that nomination. And if not, we will make whatever contingency planning we need to make for it,” Whatley said June 4.
Exactly what those contingency plans would include, Whatley did not say.
