Jimmy Reese Reports Chicago Republican Convention Highlights
NBC reporter Jimmy Reese describes the Chicago GOP scene at the International Amphitheatre. He notes the Taft led committees banning press coverage, the Fair-Play Amendment pushed by Eisenhower backers, and the lopsided 658 to 13 vote in favor of Eisenhower, with governors publicly backing the plan. He reflects on delegate loyalties and political incentives shaping floor votes.
