Some GOP analysts say that former President Donald Trump’s move to not sign a Republican National Committee (RNC) loyalty pledge to attend the first debate could spell trouble for the RNC’s power.

“The RNC needs Trump a lot more than Trump needs the RNC,” said Jennifer Horn, a former chairwoman of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee and co-founder of the controversial Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, according to The Hill. “Whether they want him to be the head of the party or not, the party is following him, not the RNC.”
