Time is nearly running out for 2024 Republican candidates to qualify for the Republican National Committee's first primary debate next week. Candidates have until Monday night to prove they are eligible for the debate, 48 hours before next Wednesday's make-or-break event in Milwaukee.
As of Friday afternoon, at least nine White House hopefuls have said they met the RNC's qualifications to participate on the debate stage, although one candidate, former President Donald Trump, has indicated he may not attend.Miami Mayor Francis Suarez became the ninth eligible candidate when he announced on Friday that he qualified for the debate."I am so excited to be able to deliver my message of prosperity to the entire nation, to introduce myself to the nation," he said.
Two other 2024 candidates, former Texas Rep. Will Hurd and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, do not appear to have met the qualifications and are in danger of not making the debate stage. Two more longshot candidates, Larry Elder and Perry Johnson, are almost certain not to meet the debate's polling or fundraising requirements.
"Many people are asking whether or not I will be doing the DEBATES? ALL AMERICANS have been clamoring for a President of extremely High Intelligence. As everyone is aware, my Poll numbers, over a “wonderful” field of Republican candidates, are extraordinary," he posted."People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate? I’M YOUR MAN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
