Top Republicans have tossed a plan that would have conditioned their funding for new candidates on a so-called ideological “purity test.”

Party leaders gathered in Honolulu for the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting on Friday ultimately nixed that resolution, which would have required prospective candidates to support eight of 10 outlined conservative principles in order to obtain campaign aid.

The RNC instead opted for a version of the rule that simply “urges” party leaders to consider a candidate’s conservative bona fides before offering financial help. RNC officials stressed Friday that resolution was in no way binding, unlike the more stringent “purity test” they rejected.
