Presidential candidate Joe Walsh told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" Monday the decision by several states to cancel Republican primaries is "undemocratic bulls--t."
The big picture: The Republican parties in the key early nominating states of Nevada and South Carolina voted over the weekend not to hold contests, as did Kansas and Arizona, per NBC News.
- Trump has a near-90% approval rating within the Republican Party, but he faces challenges for the party's nomination from Walsh, former congressman and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld.
Republicans are "on their knees prostrated before their king," says Joe Walsh, a Republican challenging Pres. Trump, on the state of his party and its move to cancel primaries in several states. Trump is "in cahoots with the Republican Party to disenfranchise voters." pic.twitter.com/aJyLqTA5c7
