Donald Trump will pledge to endorse the eventual Republican presidential nominee in 2016 and to not run as a third-party candidate, according to Politico.
Trump had refused to commit on stage at the first GOP presidential debate to not making a third-party bid if he didn't get the party's nomination.

A “close associate” told Politico that Trump would sign a loyalty pledge Thursday, binding him to endorse the eventual Republican nominee and preventing a third-party run.
The Republican National Committee on Wednesday asked all candidates to sign a loyalty statement; Trump was set to meet with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus on Thursday.
Trump is scheduled to hold a press conference Thursday afternoon.
Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski would not confirm the plan to Politico.
“I don’t think you can expect anything from Mr. Trump,” Lewandowski told Politico, noting the unpredictability of the candidate.
A Trump campaign representative did not immediately return a request for comment from TheBlaze.
