Cruz vows to fight Trump on abortion plank in RNC platform
Though Marco Rubio suggested on Thursday that he expects his delegates to be released for Donald Trump and even volunteered to speak on his behalf, Ted Cruz signaled on Friday that he would take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to Cleveland. And the fight for delegates and the party’s platform is far from over, he said, despite Trump having clinched the required number to become the nominee.
.. Trump said in April that he would push for exceptions to the party’s platform on abortion to include rape and incest. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said days later that the platform is “up to the delegates at the convention” and that he would expect it to remain the same.
