President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will not sign the party’s loyalty pledge for the 2024 elections.
This pledge, which promises support for the eventual Republican presidential nominee, is a requirement set by the party’s leadership for candidates who wish to participate in the high-stakes primary debate slated for August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel emphasized that signing this pledge is mandatory for candidates wishing to participate in the GOP’s first primary debate.
Earlier this year, McDaniel said President Trump would sign the pledge: “I think they all want to be on the debate stage. I think President Trump would like to be on the debate stage. That’s what he likes to do. And I expect they will all be there.”
During an interview with Newsmax’s Eric Bolling, Trump announced he would not sign the pledge.
“I mean, I have a problem with the debate for another reason. I wouldn’t sign the pledge. Why would I sign a pledge if there are people on there that I wouldn’t have. I wouldn’t have certain people as somebody that I would endorse,” said Trump.
“So, they want you to sign a pledge, but I can name three or four people that I wouldn’t support for president. Right there, there’s a problem,” Trump added.

Yes
It’s certain they wouldn’t support him, pledge or no pledge. There’s more honor among thieves.
Of course he won't. He won't even show up for the debate.
I love this man
Let’s hope he won’t debate people who are just in the race to attack him.
Can he run third-party if he runs in the republican primary?
He doesn’t need to.
Good! I can’t think of one good reason to sign on with a pack of wolves
Agreed 👍
Freak Ronna McRomney.
He’s right. Take that a-hole Asa Hutchinson for example he’s no better than Biden.
I was hoping he would let Ronna and Fox twist in the wind a little longer.
Yep, and Chris Christie is about a half-dozen Krispy Kreme's away from exploding.
I love his honesty, not phony like all the others running.
I agree. He’s brutally honest.
He needs to schedule a rally for the same time frame. I’d watch that over the “debates”.
Somehow the R party has had some royal families that have been rather hostile to Trump since he announced in 2015..
Bushes,Cheney’s,McCain,Mitt...
Those were the previous Pres/VP, Presidential timber before Trump.
It seems the loyalty to swamp first was more a GOP thing before Trump infiltrated the party and brought America First to its platform..
Of course, without Trump, we’d still believe the R team was fighting the swamp for us against the evil D team.
What a difference 4 years of America First made in showing how the most powerful R political families have a Swamp First core ...
Good!! Then he won’t be beholden to anyone, not even the RNC. They’ve stabbed him in the back all along. I hope this is his adios to Rona McRomney too.
