In any case, Brent Leatherwood, official executive of the Tennessee Republican Party, told CNN that the gathering had been in discussions with each of the three Republican crusades on the agent process.
"I can say each of the three crusades were counseled in the making of this slate," he said.
Haynes beforehand told CNN he got a letter from Rubio's crusade expressing that his choice to suspend his battle was "not expected to discharge any national tradition delegates bound to me as a consequence of the 2016 agent determination prepare that occurred in your state."
"It is my yearning as of now that the representatives allotted to me by your tenets stay bound to vote in favor of me on at any rate the primary selecting vote at the national tradition," said the letter, which was marked in Rubio's name.
