Florida GOP Drops Loyalty Pledge, Trump Prevails

Florida Republicans voted to remove a provision in the state party bylaws that required candidates to pledge loyalty to the eventual GOP nominee in the presidential primary. This decision is seen as a win for former President Donald Trump and a sign that Governor Ron DeSantis no longer has complete control over the state party. The vote came after a closed-door session, with loyal Trump supporters waiting outside. Some argued that the pledge was an unnecessary roadblock and that keeping Trump off the ballot would upset his supporters. Both Trump and DeSantis were not present at the meeting.
