2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley has joined fellow candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis in signing an RNC loyalty pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee.
But Haley made one small edit before signing.
“I, Nikki R. Haley, affirm that I agree to appear in only Primary and General Election debates that have been sanctioned by the Republican National Committee, pursuant to Rule 10(a)(11) of The Rules of the Republican Party. I acknowledge and accept that if I fail to sign this pledge or if I participate in any debate that has not been sanctioned by the Republican National Committee, I will not be eligible to participate in any further Republican National Committee-sanctioned debates,” the document stated.
“Additionally, I affirm that if I do not win the 2024 Republican nomination for President of the United States, I will honor the will of the primary voters and support the 2024 Republican presidential nominee in order to save our country and beat Joe Biden,” the pledge adds. “I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.”
But Haley crossed out President Biden’s name and wrote “President Harris” —a point she’s been making on the campaign trail; a vote for an elderly Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris.
During an exclusive interview on The Balance on Wednesday night, 2024 GOP frontrunner former President Trump said he wouldn’t sign a loyalty pledge.
“I wouldn’t sign the pledge,” Trump told host Eric Bolling. “They want you to sign a pledge, but I can name three or four people that I wouldn’t support for president. So right there there’s a problem.”
