The Republican Party is reportedly looking to implement a requirement for presidential candidates to participate in debates, which was first used by Democratic Party in 2020.
The Republican National Committee is considering requiring between as many as 40,000 and 50,000 unique donors for a presidential candidate to get a spot on the debate stage in the next presidential cycle, per a report from Axios.The report says the figure is not concrete and that the number could fluctuate until a vote is held on the proposal in February. The change in strategy comes as the RNC is looking to get more small-dollar donors, something Democrats dominated in 2020.
The RNC has not announced when it will hold its first presidential primary debate of the 2024 cycle, but it has reportedly been in talks with multiple networks in the hope of partnering for debates. In 2016, there were 12 debates held between August 2015 and March 2016. Republicans' underperformance in the 2022 midterm elections was partially blamed on a lack of funds compared with Democrats. A report from OpenSecrets shows Democrats outspent Republicans by $393.1 million through Oct. 19, 2022, but that the GOP spent nearly double the amount by Democrats in fundraising efforts.
