Priebus to hold nationwide 'members-only' RNC call

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has scheduled a conference call with RNC members for Wednesday afternoon, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO.

Priebus is asking party officials to dial in to a 1 pm ET conference call. The call — described as for “members only” — is being dubbed a “political update.”

The RNC chairman last held a nationwide conference call two weeks ago, shortly after damaging revelations emerged that Donald Trump, in 2005, had bragged about sexually assaulting women. During that call, Priebus informed members that the committee would be standing by its besieged presidential nominee, despite a flurry of rumors to the contrary.

The committee is continuing to pour resources into Trump’s presidential bid, even as his poll numbers crater and GOP strategists worry about maintaining the party’s congressional majorities.

An RNC spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment.
