00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 Trump's campaign refused to sign a pledge in Illinois not to overthrow the government when
00:06 registering for the primary ballot. The pledge requires candidates to promise not to advocate
00:10 overthrowing the U.S. or state governments by force. Trump signed in 2016 and 2020 and his
00:15 campaign gave no reason for not signing now. A Biden campaign spokesman said Trump can't sign
00:20 because he tried to overthrow the government on January 6th. At Iowa rallies, Trump bizarrely
00:24 claimed the Civil War could have been negotiated and praised China. He also attacked John McCain
00:28 again over his war injuries, reviving their long-running feud. Trump is campaigning heavily
00:33 in Iowa ahead of the January 15th caucuses. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
