The Palmetto State was one of several that required candidates to pledge their loyalty to the party’s eventual nominee in order to secure a slot on the primary ballot. Though Trump won all of the state’s delegates in the Feb. 20 primary, anti-Trump forces are plotting to contest their binding to Trump because of his threat on the pledge Tuesday.

Correct me if I'm wrong but none of the candidates said that they would definitely support the nominee, so none of them can qualify for the delegates.

It’s not that they will re-assigned to another candidate, that won’t happen. It’s just that it’s possible that they will be unbound on the first vote and can vote for any candidate.
