“I believe they signed the “I will support” the nominee....but he is NOT the nominee yet....only the presumptive nominee.”
That’s lawyer think. Parsing words and splitting hairs like that, is for weaklings, cowards, and backstabbing politicians.
Any honorable person would have thrown their support to the presumptive nominee by now.
See my question here:

Is this campaign the first time that phrase has been used?
Other than when there wasn’t a front runner/someone didn’t have enough delegates.
