Just as the Republican National Convention (RNC) begins for presumptive nominee Donald Trump, the ‘Never Trump’ faction of the party tried one last time to shut the New York mogul’s candidacy down.
The floor erupted into chaos when a group of ‘Never Trump’ delegates tried unsuccessfully to force a “roll call vote” on the GOP convention floor, according to USA Today.
The effort started and ended with shouting from ‘Never Trump’ delegates. Take a look:

‘Never Trump’ delegates failed, as the rest of the GOP convention crowd erupted with cheers for Trump as the chair announced that the delegates did not meet the requirement for a “roll call” vote on the convention floor.
