Former President Donald Trump has expressed his opposition to the Republican National Committee's (RNC) proposal to declare him the party's 'presumptive nominee' for the upcoming election. Trump emphasized his desire to achieve victory through the traditional electoral process, stating on Truth Social that he wants to 'win it the old fashioned way at the ballot box.' He believes that forgoing the designation of presumptive nominee is in the best interest of party unity. The RNC had previously considered this move but has since withdrawn the proposal following Trump's remarks. Trump has already secured victories in the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary.
