Some Republicans are raising the possibility that a new nominee could replace Donald Trump, NBC News reported.
Bob Vander Plaats, a supporter and campaign co-chair of former candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, suggested to NBC News that a convention coup at next month's Republican nominating convention in Cleveland is possible.
The notion comes after a nearly week-long firestorm surrounding Trump and his attacks on a federal judge because of his Mexican heritage. Trump’s comments have led to harsh criticism from some of his supporters.
Two Republican National Committee rules committee members said they reject the idea of a coup, and Cruz’s own top delegate aide quashed the notion on Wednesday.
