next month, as other campaigns hustle both to secure the necessary financial support and hit the required polling thresholds.
A handful of Republican presidential candidates say they have already met fundraising benchmarks their party set for its first debate in August, including former President Donald Trump.Campaign representatives for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told The Post that a threshold of 40,000 donors had been reached.To count toward the criteria, the polls have to have been in the field after July 1 and surveyed at least 800 registered Republicans likely to vote in the GOP primary.
Perhaps the most controversial criterion imposed by the RNC is the requirement that candidates sign pledges to support the eventual GOP nominee and not participate in any non-committee-sanctioned debate. Pence, Haley and Scott have indicated they would sign a pledge supporting the Republican Party’s eventual nominee.“He looks forward to being on the debate stage to share his message of hope and optimism anchored in our conservative values,” Scott spokeswoman Nicole Morales said.Getty Images
