Wednesday on CBS This Morning, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said now that Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, the unification process of the party was now underway.
Priebus said, [Trump] will be the presumptive nominee. Youre not the presumptive nominee until you hit 1237. That being the case, Im just stating the obvious. So look, where it leads is its time to unite is what it leads to.
He continued, Well, first of all, let me just remind everyone thats whats happening in the Republican party is pretty historic when you look at voter registration against the Democrats has never been better than in 25 years. Our fundraising in the first quarter at the RNC was an all-time record. Weve raised more money than we did in 2012. What Im telling you is that the fundamentals are the opposite of the narrative. Now, clearly when you have a race where youve got 17 candidates, and as of late two very serious candidates with serious campaigns, its not easy. Its hard. I would be lying to you all if I said, this is easy. Were going to pivot. You know what, we need to unify. We need time to unify and we will unify. This is what today starts, this unification process.
