"Trump Declines Illinois Oath Against Advocating Government Overthrow"

Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, has opted not to sign a traditional loyalty oath in Illinois, which includes a promise not to support the overthrow of the government. This decision coincides with the third anniversary of the January 6 insurrection and ongoing legal challenges Trump faces, including indictments related to his business practices and his actions on January 6. Other candidates, including President Biden and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have signed the oath. Trump's campaign has not commented on the matter, and the former president is also contending with efforts to remove him from primary ballots in multiple states due to allegations of insurrection.
