Surprising decision by Trump on the Republican candidates
Eight candidates have met the Republican National Committee (RNC) prerequisites to participate in the debate that will begin on August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Former US President Donald Trump, on the other hand, refused to participate in the same show with his other rivals, announcing that he would only participate in a separate show.
Candidates who meet the criteria set by the RNC for the live debate, former US Vice President Nikki Haley, were Senator Tim Scott, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Governor of North Dakota Dough Burgum and young billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy.
In the 2024 presidential election, criteria such as the amount of donations received by candidates who want to be the Republican Party’s presidential nominee to go live, the votes they received at the polls, and the fact that they signed the pledge of support for the party’s final candidate are effective.
To participate in the first debate in Milwaukee, the RNC requires that candidates have the support of at least 1 percent of the electorate in more than one poll, reach at least 40,000 donors from at least 200 different supporters from each state, and sign a commitment. of the Republican Party to support the eventual presidential candidate.
On the other hand, former House of Representatives Will Hurd and radio host Larry Elder did not meet the criteria set by the RNC to broadcast live.
The RNC has yet to reveal the official roster for Wednesday night’s live broadcast.
TRUMP WILL NOT PARTICIPATE
Former US President Donald Trump previously announced that he will not participate in a live-streamed debate between the Republican presidential candidates.
Trump, who leads the Republican polls, stated on his Social Truth social network that he has “legendary” poll numbers and “so he will not participate in the discussion.”
As is customary in the United States, the candidate candidates have mutual discussions on live television. The performance of the candidates during these debates is of great importance in determining the presidential candidate at the national convention of the Republican Party. Contrary to this tradition, Donald Trump has yet to share information that the RNC has signed a pledge to support the party’s eventual nominee.
In the US media, it was claimed that Trump will do a live broadcast on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, with former Fox TV host Tucker Carlson at the same time. (AA)
