Presidential candidate Donald Trump is considering the GOP pledge to not run as a third-party candidate, an anonymous advisor to his campaign told ABC News in a report published Monday.

At the GOP debate last week, Trump did not rule out running as a third-party candidate, but he also said that he wants to win the Republican nomination.

“I am discussing it with everybody. But I’m talking about a lot of leverage. We want to win and we will win. But I want to win as the Republican,” Trump said during the debate. “I want to run as the Republican nominee.”
