To qualify for the March primary ballot, Florida's Republican Party will require that presidential candidates concur to support the eventual nominee of the party. Despite the fact that the party approved the requirement in May and included it in bylaws submitted to the state, Politico noted that they have not been widely disseminated. A candidate must agree to support the primary's eventual winner and not run as an independent or third-party candidate in order to be included on the ballot.
The top two contenders in the current race, former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, are both Sunshine State residents. Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami, is the third candidate.
The deadline for candidates to submit their pledge is November 22. The requirement to appear on the first debate stage is similar to that of the Republican National Committee.
Many of the leading contenders, such as Trump and DeSantis, have not declared their support for the eventual Republican nominee.
According to RealClearPolitics, Trump is currently the undisputed frontrunner in the race, leading closest challenger DeSantis by an average of 32.1%.
