Ron DeSantis Pledges Support for 2024 Republican Nominee,\u200b Including Trump<\/h2>\n<p>Excitement is building as Gov.

It states:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I affirm that if I do not win \u2062the 2024 Republican nomination for \u200dpresident \u200dof\u2062 the United States, I will honor the will of the primary voters and support\u200d the nominee in order to save our country and beat Joe Biden.

The Republican \u2064National Committee has yet to clarify whether Christie&#8217;s stance disqualifies him \u200dfrom participating in the debate.<\/p>\n<h3>Requirements\u2064 for the Debate<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to signing\u200c the pledge, candidates must meet several\u2064 other requirements to secure a \u200dspot in the debate.
