Missouri Republicans are in turmoil over the selection of presidential delegates for the upcoming Republican National Convention, where Donald Trump is expected to be the party’s nominee. A report revealed that 27 delegates originally chosen at the state convention were removed from the list due to irregularities in the selection process, sparking outrage among party members who had made travel arrangements. The state party’s executive committee selected new delegates, many of whom have ties to party leader Chairman Nick Myers, leading to accusations of undemocratic behavior. Those excluded from the new delegation, including top gubernatorial candidates, have criticized the move as unfair and have called for the original delegates to be reinstated. The situation has caused division within the state party, with some members planning to appeal the decision. The Republican National Convention is set to begin on July 15 in Milwaukee, where Trump is expected to be officially nominated as the party’s candidate for the presidential election. The controversy in Missouri reflects broader tensions within the Republican Party as it prepares for the upcoming election.
