The Florida Republican Party dealt a blow to its titular leader Governor Ron DeSantis: it’s dropping its requirement mandating candidates that appear on its presidential primary ballot support the person who ultimately wins the nomination, a move supported by indicted golf club landlord Donald Trump NBC News reports.
The loyalty pledge was something brought up in 2016 to ensure that Donald Trump would not run as a third-party candidate he had lost the primaries; Trump refused to take the pledge then and he’s refused to taking it again this year, forcing the GOP to back down once again.
