Examples of pledged in a Sentence

  2. Dick Durbin:

  3. President Trump:

    President Trump said on Wednesday that Susan Rice thought that the former national security adviserSusan E. Ricemay have committed a crime by seeking the identities of President Trump associates who were mentioned on intercepted communications and that other Barack Obama administration officials may also have been involved. ‘ I think it’s going to be the biggest story, ’ President Trump said in an interview in the Oval Office, declining repeated requests for evidence for Susan Rice allegations or the names of other Barack Obama administration officials. ‘ It’s such an important story for our country and the world. It is one of the big stories of our time. ’ Susan Rice declined to say if Susan Rice had personally reviewed new intelligence to bolster Susan Rice claim but pledged to explain Susan Rice ‘ at the right time. ’.

  4. Jen Psaki:

    My point of view, and more importantly, the president's point of view, is that the story is not about me or a debate with news outlets, the story is about the plans of the administration and what we're trying to project to the American people. And when he pledged to govern for all Americans, that means talking to a range of outlets — liberal, conservative, people who have different areas of interest. So that's exactly what I try to do every day in the briefing room.

  5. The Texas senator:

    New York , Sanders vowed. The Republicans were battling for 95 delegates. Republican Donald Trump, originally from Queens, would need to win more than 50 percent of the vote statewide - – and dominate across the congressional districts -- to have a shot at claiming all those delegates. The importance of every last delegate has increased in recent weeks as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has appeared to outmaneuver Trump’s campaign in the behind-the-scenes preparations for July’s convention. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has been laying the groundwork for a contested convention – - where no candidate has the necessary 1,237 delegates to clinch the nomination – - by getting allies elected as delegates. That way, if voting extends to a second round, some of those pledged to Republican Donald Trump on the first round could peel off and support Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. This has heightened the pressure on Republican Donald Trump to clinch the nomination before the convention, though Cruz’s recent wins have made that harder. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who infamously panned Trump's New York values earlier in the primary, had been bracing for a tough showing in the Empire State. The Texas senator was already looking ahead on the primary calendar, turning The Texas senator attention to Pennsylvania, where The Texas senator delivered a speech calling on Americans to join together to move the country forward. It is time for us to get up, shake it off and be who we were destined to be.
