NBC executives sent a small delegation to RNC headquarters patch up any concerns following Ron DeSantis’ blowup last month over comments made by Andrea Mitchell, according to an RNC source.
The dust has settled a bit since then, and Huckabee’s Hunger Games approach is off the table, but some of the same Trump-related headaches remain.In one of the few areas of American life where both sets of institutions have just as much power as they’ve always had, organizing televised debates takes months—often years—of advance planning.
“Pretty similar to what we did last time, but we are making sure that the polling is done by a smaller list of pollsters, or they have to agree to poll likely Republican voters,” the RNC source added. “It’s not gonna be as loosey-goosey as last time.” “I think the glaring thing is Trump is a candidate just like everyone else,” a veteran GOP strategist said. “He needs to get the same treatment. No special green room, arrival logistics, et cetera.”“We don’t want it to just be Trump and DeSantis or something like that at the beginning,” the RNC member said. “We’ll have it narrow down as we go along.”
