Former Vice President Mike Pence has made it clear that he is willing to sign the Republican National Committee loyalty pledge in order to participate in the first GOP presidential debate. Pence expressed his confidence in being able to support the Republican nominee, especially if it happens to be himself. Pence is one of eight Republican presidential candidates who have met the requirements set by the RNC to qualify for the debate, which will be hosted by Fox News on August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The RNC not only requires candidates to meet polling and donor thresholds, but also to sign a pledge stating their commitment to support the eventual GOP presidential nominee and to refrain from participating in any unsanctioned debates. This pledge ensures party unity and loyalty among candidates.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Pence emphasized his willingness to meet the criteria and support the nominee, even if it is Donald Trump. Last week, Pence criticized Trump’s actions in trying to overturn the 2020 election and stated that anyone who prioritizes their own interests over the Constitution should never be President of the United States. However, Pence believes that Republican primary voters understand the need for new leadership in both the White House and the Republican Party.
When asked about what he would do if Trump were to win the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, Pence proudly acknowledged the accomplishments of the Trump administration but highlighted their diverging paths. He stated that he had upheld his constitutional duties and had no right to overturn the election. Pence expressed confidence that more and more Americans are understanding and appreciating the stand they took to uphold their oath to the Constitution and to the American people.
Trump, the frontrunner in the GOP nomination race, refused to sign the loyalty pledge, stating that he would only sign it if there were no candidates on the stage that he wouldn’t have. He also stated that he would decide whether he would attend the debate next week.
Pence, in response, emphasized the importance of having all candidates who have earned support from the American people on the debate stage. He believes that every candidate should have the opportunity to share their story and vision with the American people during the Iowa caucus and upcoming primaries.
In conclusion, Mike Pence is determined to participate in the GOP presidential debate and is willing to sign the loyalty pledge to demonstrate his commitment to the party. He believes in the importance of party unity and providing a platform for all qualified candidates to share their visions with the American people.
