Overview

• Donald Trump, in his 2024 presidential run, has declined to sign a loyalty pledge in Illinois, which he had signed in his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.
• The pledge, a tradition since the 1950s, asks candidates not to advocate for the 'overthrow of the government.'
• Other candidates, including President Joe Biden and GOP candidate Ron DeSantis, have signed the pledge.
• On the same day Trump filed his candidacy forms, a group of Illinois voters filed an objection, arguing he is ineligible to be on the ballot due to the 14th Amendment.
• The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear Trump's appeal to reverse a decision disqualifying him from being on Colorado's 2024 primary ballot.
