Republican nominee: 'Not going to support Donald Trump'
by Asher Notheis, Breaking News Reporter
June 23, 2023 06:33 PMFormer Texas representative and 2024 presidential candidate Will Hurd revealed he will not agree to the Republican National Committee's requirement to endorse the 2024 nominee in order to debate other candidates.
The RNC has a loyalty pledge in which Republican candidates who wish to debate onstage this August must support the eventual Republican nominee. Hurd spoke out against the pledge on Thursday, saying he would not be signing any pledges and that he does not believe parties "should be trying to rig who should be on a debate stage," during a CNN interview.
“I am not in the business of lying to the American people in order to get a microphone, and I’m not going to support Donald Trump,” Hurd said. “And so I can’t honestly say I’m going to sign something even if he may or may not be the nominee.”
