The Massachusetts Republican Party is aiming to protect President Donald Trump from primary challengers such as former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld by approving a new winner-takes-all delegate plan.
"We want to keep the emphasis on trying to protect all of our elected officials in the State House and to trying to add more seats in the Legislature," said Lyons, a former state representative. "Local town committees will be more focused on trying to elect state representatives and state senators." "I've never heard of anybody trying to block an election they were going to win easily," Stevens said. "Parties can change these rules when they want to change them. All you can do is just go forward and offer an alternative."
Bill Weld was governor of Massachusetts from 1991 to 1997 and the vice presidential nominee for the Libertarian Party in 2016. | M. Scott Mahaskey/POLITICO The Weld campaign is making a play for independent voters, millennial Republicans and suburban women in the 2020 primary. As a Reagan appointee who supervised Robert Mueller at the Department of Justice in the 1980s, Weld views himself as an anti-corruption foil to Trump.
