Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley signed the Republican National Committee pledge to help the eventual GOP presidential nominee however crossed out “Beat Biden” and put in Vice President Kamala Harris’ identify as a substitute.
“Alright fellas, your turn,” she tweeted on the X platform Thursday with a photograph of her pledge.
Mrs. Haley used a blue pen to cross out the header with Mr. Biden’s identify and write “President Harris.”
For months, the 2024 contender has mentioned Mr. Biden, 80, won’t survive a second time period so a vote for his ticket is a vote for “President Harris.”
The RNC is requiring GOP candidates to signal the loyalty pledge to qualify for the controversy stage on Aug. 23 in Milwaukee.
“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 provides. “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.”
Besides Mrs. Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy have signed the pledge.
Former President Donald Trump, the front-runner within the major, hasn’t dedicated to the controversy and says the pledge is a sticking level.
“I wouldn’t sign the pledge,” Mr. Trump advised Newsmax’s Eric Bolling. “Why would I sign a pledge if there are people on there that I wouldn’t have?”
“I can name three or four people that I wouldn’t support for president,” Mr. Trump mentioned. “So right there, there’s a problem right there. There’s a problem.”
