Donald Trump, displeased with the Republican National Committee, is threatening to launch a third-party White House run.
In an interview with The Hill, Trump said that while the RNC had been happy in the past to accept his money, the party has “not been supportive” of his candidacy. Consequently, he is mulling a third-party presidential run, and says the chances of him launching one would increase if he feels the committee treats him unfairly during the primaries.
“I’m not in the gang. I’m not in the group where the group does whatever it’s supposed to do,” Trump told The Hill, explaining why he believes he’s unpopular with the GOP establishment.
A third-party Trump campaign would be cause for celebration among Democrats, since he would potentially siphon off Republican support and clear the way for a Democratic victory.
