Harmeet Dhillon Among Big-Name California Republicans As Donald Trump Delegates

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 10 May, 2016 12:56 PM

Mitt Romney, John McCain and other prominent Republicans have distanced themselves from Donald Trump, but the billionaire businessman's list of delegates from California released Monday includes Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. House.

Trump's line-up of delegates also includes Reps. Darrell Issa and Duncan Hunter and Dennis Revell, a son-in-law of Ronald Reagan.

In California, Republican presidential campaigns select delegates that are awarded in the June 7 primary, based on the outcome of voting in its 53 congressional districts and the statewide tally.

Trump's list also includes Harmeet Dhillon, vice chair of the California GOP, state Senate GOP leader Jean Fuller, former congressman Doug Ose and former state Sen. Tony Strickland.

"I think what you are seeing is Republicans coming to a clear understanding that we have to coalesce and let's get on with it," Ose said.

Issa, a former backer of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, endorsed Trump last week.
