Media Outlets Feature Delve’s Analysis on Rule 40

Last week we published our analysis of the rule that could lead to chaos in the Republican primary process. Delve CEO Jeff Berkowitz spoke with the New York Times on how this rule may impact Republicans looking to defeat Donald Trump in the coming months:

“‘The best case scenario for the Never Trump backers is to throw the convention into disarray, either by ensuring Trump does not reach the eight-state threshold so the rules have to be changed, or by changing the rules even if he does,’ said Jeff Berkowitz, a former Republican National Committee official.”

Jeff also spoke with MSNBC’s Ari Melber on potential rules changes:

“Jeff Berkowitz, who worked three conventions as an RNC official, says there would be a revolt if the convention rules are changed simply to stop Trump. Asked about  [Ben] Ginsberg’s description of the temporary rules, Berkowitz laughed, saying ‘that’s right from a legal standpoint, but there would be a huge eruption at anything seen as the establishment stealing it from the rightful winner.’”

Other media outlets and journalists highlighted Delve’s analysis as well, including CBS Political Director and Face the Nation moderator John Dickerson, Washington Examiner Managing Editor Philip Klein, Texas Monthly Senior Editor Erica Grieder, and CNBC data reporter Mark Fahey.
