Leaders of the Republican Party of Florida voted to eliminate a loyalty oath requirement for participation in the state’s primary, marking a victory for former President Donald Trump in his campaign against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other challengers for the 2024 nomination.

The former commander-in-chief said he wouldn’t sign such a pledge, which was added to the party bylaws just months ago. Now, he won’t be disqualified as he gears up to compete in the delegate-rich state.
