Chairman Priebus
Republican presidential front-runner Donald
Trump is set to meet with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince
Priebus Thursday in New York City, NBC News has confirmed. The meeting
comes amid reports that the RNC has asked the GOP candidates to "pledge"
not to run as a third-party candidate if unsuccessful at clinching the
nomination.
Trump's campaign did not comment on whether the
RNC's pledge is on the meeting's agenda. After the Priebus meeting,
Trump is scheduled to hold a press conference at 2 p.m. ET at Trump
Tower in Manhattan.
"I [name] affirm that if I do not win the 2016
Republican nomination for president of the United States I will endorse
the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is," the
RNC's pledge says, a GOP source confirmed to NBC News. "I further pledge
that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor
will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party." Politico first reported on the text of the pledge.
