Republican National Committee chairman Reince
Priebus briefed GOP members of Congress Tuesday on the process of
choosing delegates to July's presidential nominating convention in
Cleveland, again pushing back against implications that the process is
"rigged" by party bosses, Republicans in the room tell NBC News.
In the meeting, held at the party's headquarters
in D.C., Priebus underscored to lawmakers that the nominee must receive
a majority of votes from the delegates - 1,237 - not a plurality, as
GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has suggested. And he said that, despite
charges from Trump and others that the process is "corrupt," the RNC
will remain a neutral umpire without picking sides, attendees said.
The remarks echoed what Priebus told NBC News
this weekend on Meet the Press, when he insisted that the eventual
nominee must garner a majority of delegates in Cleveland.
