Trump refuses to pledge support for GOP nominee if he loses primary.

Former President Donald Trump Rejects Republican Party’s “Beat Biden” Pledge

In ‍a ⁤recent interview, former President Donald Trump made it⁣ clear ⁤that‌ he would⁤ not be signing the‌ Republican Party’s “beat‍ Biden” loyalty pledge. This pledge requires candidates ​to declare their ⁤support for the GOP nominee ‌in⁤ the 2024 presidential⁣ election if ‍they want to participate in ⁤the party’s primary debates.

Trump expressed his reservations about the pledge, stating, “I have a⁢ problem with​ the debate for another reason: I wouldn’t sign the pledge. ‌Why would I sign a pledge? There are people on ‍there that I wouldn’t have.” He further ‌emphasized that he ‌would not endorse certain individuals, ‍making ​it⁣ difficult for him ⁤to commit to the pledge.

While Trump ⁢did not specify which candidates he would not endorse, he​ did​ criticize ​Florida Governor Ron DeSantis,‍ former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, ​and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson during the interview.

The “Beat Biden Pledge” that candidates must sign ⁣states, “Additionally, ⁣I affirm that if I do not win the ⁢2024 Republican ⁢nomination for President of the ‌United States, I will honor the will of the⁢ primary voters and support the nominee in order ⁣to save our country and beat Joe Biden.” It also includes⁢ a commitment not⁤ to run as an ​independent or seek the nomination of any other party.

When asked about his ‍participation in the debates, Trump told Breitbart News that he had not yet made a decision. The Daily⁤ Wire reached out to the Republican National Committee (RNC) to inquire about the consequences of not signing the pledge. The RNC referred to a previous statement by chairwoman Ronna ​McDaniel, emphasizing that all candidates⁤ must sign the⁢ pledge and ‌that intent would be taken ⁤into ‍account.

Regarding concerns‍ raised by Chris⁤ Christie, who indicated that he may not ⁣honor the pledge after signing it, the​ RNC again referred to McDaniel’s statement, highlighting the importance ⁢of honesty and commitment to ​supporting the nominee chosen by the voters.
