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.

Wah!!
Hoping Trump will have his own show and “debate” the debaters
Freakazoid Ronna McRomBush.
No other Republican can win
So tired of the sideshow
If I remember right, I think they had such a pledge in 2016 which all signed. Then when Trump won the primary, several signers didn’t support with Bush being one of them. So these pledges mean nothing.
I heard somewhere that Christie refuses to sign ‘the pledge’.
Is that true, and if so will they still hold Trump to it?
So do I.
“Trump Announces He Will Not Sign GOP’s 2024 Nominee Support Pledge: “I Can Name Three or Four People that I Wouldn’t Support for President” “
Brilliant way to avoid participating in the primary debates!
Trump: “Gee, I WANTED to participate, but they wouldn’t let me.”
Trump continues to demonstrate what a political genius he is!
There are more than three that I wouldn’t vote for.
MAGA 2024!
Good for him. Trump is an American first, a Republican maybe 2nd or 3rd. That’s the way it should be.
Plus asshat Hutchinson said he would vote for Biden before he would vote for Trump.
Pence sounds hesitant about signing the pledge.
The Asa guy is all in on guys pretending they are girls and everyone else forced to play along. If that is the Repuke standard bearer Biden would absolutely be the better choice but not voting or voting 3rd party would be the real choice. If both parties’ standard bearers supported that it’s worst for the country overall...not to mention...what country?
“I was hoping he would let Ronna and Fox twist in the wind a little longer.”
oh, they’ll still be twisting: twisting in knots ... Trump didn’t explicitly say he won’t attend the debates, instead, he said he won’t abide by their rules ...
so the ball is now back in the RNC’s court about whether to alter the rules to accommodate Trump or stick with the rules that Trump says he wont’t abide by ... whether the RNC caves or not, the RNC loses and Trump wins either way ... Trump continues to demonstrate his political genius ...
Good. We all know hes not gonna back people just because “R”...
R is for RINO, which are most of the other candidates, if arguably, all of them....
Pence and Hutchinson are absolutely out. Some others have a lot of burned bridges to repair.
So, since Trump is obviously advocating for Biden to win, does this make Trump a RINO?
