Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Ronna McDaniel reaffirmed her party’s loyalty pledge before the upcoming GOP primary debate. This pledge requires qualifying candidates to commit to supporting the RNC’s eventual nominee for the 2024 presidential election. McDaniel emphasized the importance of candidates standing on the RNC debate stage being able to back the nominee and defeat President Biden.
However, some GOP candidates who have criticized former President Donald Trump have expressed concerns about the loyalty pledge. Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and former Representative Will Hurd have all questioned the requirement. Hurd specifically stated that he would not sign the pledge as he did not support Trump.
Hurd further elaborated on his position by calling Trump a “proven loser” and arguing that electing him as the Republican nominee would give Biden another four years in office. It is worth noting that Trump himself has not confirmed whether he will sign the loyalty pledge.
During an interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace, McDaniel was asked if even Trump, who endorsed her for the RNC chair position in 2017, would have to fulfill the loyalty pledge. McDaniel acknowledged the importance of the debates, expressing hope that Trump would join the stage, but also stated that if he decided to skip the debates, it would be his choice.
