Republican candidates seeking the nomination for the 2024 presidential nomination will debate on Wednesday night in Miami. But once again, in his absence, frontrunner Donald Trump commands attention.
In this photo from the second GOP primary debate on Sept. 27, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, left, argues a point with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, right, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at center.This will be the smallest slate of candidates on stage yet. Just five candidates met the Republican National Committee's qualifying rules this time around: former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, U.S. Sen.
The former president has not qualified for any of the Republican debates so far, even though he has met the polling and fundraising thresholds. But he has not met qualifying standards — specifically one that requires each candidate to pledge they will support whoever wins the nomination. Trump has flat out refused to sign that pledge. He has also said that he doesn't want to elevate his opponents by being on stage with them.
