Asa Hutchinson says he’s certified for first GOP main debate, will signal loyalty pledge

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson revealed Sunday he’s certified for Wednesday’s first GOP presidential debate in Milwaukee and can signal the occasion’s required loyalty pledge.

Mr. Hutchinson made the announcement on CNN’s “State of the Union,” saying he’s met the Republican National Committee’s 40,000 particular person donor threshold with 42,000 donors and had already met polling necessities.

Despite his fierce opposition to Mr. Trump, Mr. Hutchinson mentioned he’ll signal the RNC’s required loyalty pledge to help whomever the eventual GOP nominee is.

“I’ll sign the pledge. I’m confident that Donald Trump is not going to be the nominee of the party, and I’ve always supported the nominee,” he mentioned. “I’m going to sign the pledge and be on there.”
