US election: Anti-Trump rebellion quashed in vote

15 July 2016 US Election 2016

The movement to stop Donald Trump from gaining the Republican presidential nomination prior to the party's convention has been crushed by a vote.

The party's rules committee rejected a proposal that would have allowed delegates to back the candidate of their choice.

The panel approved a rule that would "bound" delegates to candidates decided by state primaries and caucuses.

Trump supporters say the movement to stop the candidate is now finished.
