Presidential hopefuls vying for a spot on Illinois’ March 19 primary ballot had to submit their nominating petitions to the State Board of Elections on Thursday or Friday. The loyalty pledge is not required but is a long-standing tradition that candidates undertake as part of that paperwork.

    lol people who didn’t pay attention to the LITERAL FUCKING INSURRECTION might look at the fact he didn’t sign paperwork and turn on him?

      A big chunk of the population doesn’t realize that Biden and Trump are shoo-ins for their parties nominations, and reminding those people that Trump has doubled down on ending democracy is important.

      Those people are beyond saving. But hopefully it will convince some of the “I don’t like Biden so I’m gonna protest vote for some joke candidate” crowd to actually take the election seriously.

        I don’t see this being the ‘turning point’ for anyone if they haven’t already turned on trump. This is basically jaywalking by his standards.
