Trump camp, anti-Trump delegates trade blows as rules fight looms

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and anti-Trump delegates traded blows on Tuesday in anticipation of a potential rules fight later this week.

Anti-Trump delegates earned a qualified victory in a Virginia court on Monday that effectively eliminated enforcement of a state law’s delegate-binding provision for residents of the commonwealth. The legal challenge brought by Virginia GOP delegate Beau Correll may have opened up the likelihood that similar state laws elsewhere face similar challenges, but it did nothing to expressly change the way the national Republican Party will write its nominating rules.
