On Saturday, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporter Frank Lockwood broke the news that the Republican National Committee intends to re-nominate President Donald Trump behind closed doors.

Zeke Miller, the Associated Press reporter who is president of the White House Correspondents' Association, urged Republicans to reconsider.

"The nomination of a major party presidential candidate is very much the business of the American people," Miller explained.
