Trump Says He Won't Sign RNC Loyalty Pledge for Debates

Former president Donald Trump will not sign the loyalty pledge that's typically required by the Republican National Committee to be in the first primary debate. Trump says he won't sign because there are people on the pledge that he does not want to endorse but did not specify who he was referring to. The pledge requires whoever signs it will support the eventual party nominee in 2024. Trump has indicated that he may skip the debates altogether as he's pointed to his current lead in the primary polls.
