He stated, &#8220;Why would I sign it? There are people on\u2063 there\u2063 that I wouldn&#8217;t have. They want you to sign a pledge, but I can name \u200dthree or four people that I wouldn&#8217;t support for president. So, right there, there&#8217;s a\u2063 problem.&#8221; Trump \u2064chose not to disclose the names\u200c of the candidates \u200dhe wouldn&#8217;t support.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Trump\u200c hinted that he \u200dmay not attend \u2062the RNC debate, as he said he would make a decision by\u2064 next\u200c week. His \u200brefusal to sign the pledge serves as a strong indication that he might skip the event.\u2064 In contrast, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Trump&#8217;s top rival, wasted no time in signing the pledge and even shared \u2064a copy online. &#8220;See you in Milwaukee!&#8221; DeSantis&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/brian-kemp-pushes-back-on-trump-refusal-to-sign-loyalty-pledge\/\" title=\"Brian Kemp opposes Trump's refusal to sign loyalty pledge.\">campaign proudly\u2062 declared<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Kemp&#8217;s Position and Future Plans<\/h3>\n<p>Kemp, a popular\u2062 governor who was once considered a \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-matt-gaetz-suggests-potential-desantis-2024-presidential-run\/\" title=\"Rep. Matt Gaetz Suggests Potential DeSantis 2024 Presidential Run\">potential presidential candidate<\/a>, recently announced\u200d that he would not\u2062 be running in \u200c2024. His decision came\u2063 after he faced criticism for not overturning President Joe Biden&#8217;s win in Georgia during the 2020 \u200celection.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with \u2063CNN, Kemp stated, \u200b&#8221;In politics, \u200dthere&#8217;s always doors opening and closing. I got a great job right now. I personally\u2063 feel like having more people \u200cin the race does not help us win and\u200b beat Joe Biden. So, you know, I&#8217;m certainly not running \u200dfor president. But there&#8217;s always doors opening\u200d in politics depending on how things play out, and\u2064 we&#8217;ll see what happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"link-to-article\">click \u200bhere\u2063 to read more from The Washington Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
