Republican presidential candidates who qualify for the first primary debate will will then have to sign a loyalty pledge, sources say Republican presidential candidates who qualify for the first primary debate will have to satisfy one final, somewhat controversial requirement, sources say: signing a pledge to back whomever the party's eventual nominee is, including if it's Donald Trump. Two sources familiar with the discussion told ABC News that the pledge will only be presented to candidates for their signature after they earn their spot on the debate stage, in Milwaukee in August, rather than earlier in the process.

Entrepreneur and GOP presidential candidate had a big night Wednesday on the primary's first debate stage. Now, he'll have to capitalize.
