Former President Donald Trump questioned why he’d sign the Republican National Committee’s loyalty pledge and named his problem with it being a requirement for candidates to take part in the first GOP presidential primary debate later this month. The loyalty pledge, also known as the “Beat Biden” pledge, requires qualifying candidates to agree to back the Republican Party’s eventual nominee in 2024. I wouldn’t sign the pledge.

Will Hurd (R-Texas), who took a swipe at Trump in an Iowa speech last month, has indicated he wouldn’t sign the loyalty pledge.
