Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley announced on Sunday that she no longer feels obligated to uphold the pledge requiring GOP contenders to support the party's eventual nominee in order to participate in primary debates. This pledge, set by the Republican National Committee, was signed by nearly all major candidates except for Donald Trump, the current front-runner who opted out of the debates.
During an appearance on NBC's “Meet the Press,” Haley stated that she is no longer bound by the commitment and will make decisions based on her own judgment. She expressed her belief that the RNC has undergone changes since the time of the debates and emphasized her longstanding concerns about Trump, whom she previously served under as U.N. ambassador.
