The GOP has canceled primaries in a number of states, including South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and Kansas.
Walsh tweeted after the committee vote that Republican Party bosses are trying “to protect their King. This isn't Russia. This isn't China. This kind of un-American shouldn't happen here.”Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Andrew Hitt told reporters after the meeting that Weld and Walsh have failed to get on primary ballots in a number of other states, making them “less relevant” in Wisconsin.
Trump's allies have been working for months to clear the primary field across the country for the president in the face of challenges from dark horse candidates. The Minnesota GOP, for example, plans to list only Trump on its March 3 primary ballot. Republicans also have canceled primaries in a number of states, including South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and Kansas, to clear the field for Trump and consolidate support.
Such moves aren’t unprecedented, but they aren't common. Republicans and Democrats canceled contests to protect their incumbents across up to 10 states in 1992, 1996, 2004 and 2012.
