Trump Declines to Sign Loyalty Pledge in 2024 Presidential Run

The pledge, signed by other candidates including Biden and DeSantis, asks candidates not to advocate for the 'overthrow of the government.'

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.
