Gov. Brian Kemp Calls Out Trump’s Refusal to Sign Loyalty Pledge
Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) didn’t hold back when expressing his disappointment in former President Donald Trump’s decision to not sign a primary debate.”>loyalty pledge
. This pledge is a requirement to participate in the Republican National Committee’s first primary debate on Aug. 23 in Milwaukee.“Every Republican running for President would be better than Joe Biden,” Kemp posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Any candidate who does not commit to supporting the eventual nominee is putting themselves ahead of the future of our country. 2024 is too important for political games.”
Trump’s Stance on the Pledge
During an interview with Newsmax host Eric Bolling, Trump made it clear that he wouldn’t sign the pledge. He stated, “Why would I sign it? There are people on there that I wouldn’t have. They want you to sign a pledge, but I can name three or four people that I wouldn’t support for president. So, right there, there’s a problem.” Trump chose not to disclose the names of the candidates he wouldn’t support.
Furthermore, Trump hinted that he may not attend the RNC debate, as he said he would make a decision by next week. His refusal to sign the pledge serves as a strong indication that he might skip the event. In contrast, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Trump’s top rival, wasted no time in signing the pledge and even shared a copy online. “See you in Milwaukee!” DeSantis’s campaign proudly declared.
Kemp’s Position and Future Plans
Kemp, a popular governor who was once considered a potential presidential candidate, recently announced that he would not be running in 2024. His decision came after he faced criticism for not overturning President Joe Biden’s win in Georgia during the 2020 election.
In an interview with CNN, Kemp stated, ”In politics, there’s always doors opening and closing. I got a great job right now. I personally feel like having more people in the race does not help us win and beat Joe Biden. So, you know, I’m certainly not running for president. But there’s always doors opening in politics depending on how things play out, and we’ll see what happens.”
