The Republican Party is currently implementing a pledge that requires all candidates to eventually support the party’s presidential nominee. Vivek Ramaswamy, a White House hopeful, has become the first candidate to agree to this pledge, which was drafted by the Republican National Committee (RNC). This agreement also secures Ramaswamy’s qualification for the upcoming Republican debate on August 23rd, hosted by Fox in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ronna McDaniel, the Chairwoman of the RNC, made this “Beat Biden pledge” a requirement for candidates to participate in official debates. This rule contradicts former President Donald Trump’s previous suggestion that he may not support the eventual winner of the Republican nomination.
To qualify for the first GOP presidential debate, candidates must adhere to several criteria in addition to the pledge. They must attain at least 1% in three national polls, or 1% in two national polls and two state-specific polls from the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. These polls must be recognized by the RNC and conducted on or after July 1. Furthermore, candidates must have 40,000 unique donors to their campaign committee and a minimum of 200 unique donors per state or territory in 20+ states and/or territories.
It is important for candidates to sign this pledge in order to participate in sanctioned debates organized by the RNC. Failure to sign or taking part in non-RNC sanctioned debates will result in exclusion from future party-sanctioned debates. The pledge also entails a commitment to support the 2024 Republican presidential nominee if the candidate does not win the party’s nomination, preventing them from running as an independent or seeking the nomination of any other party.
