Candidates for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination may not get their opportunity to go toe-to-toe with the front-runner, fueling concerns about diminishing the importance of televised primary debates.
Former President Donald Trump has publicly soured on attending the debates, drawing taunts from his rivals and cheers from his backers. His absence risks backfiring against him but is likely to draw fewer eyeballs to the key event and could be a drag on the party.
"It's definitely more damaging for the RNC in their legitimacy," veteran Republican strategist John Thomas told the Washington Examiner. "One of their main jobs is to remain relevant in the primary process. And what Trump is doing here is stripping the party of one of their main roles of relevancy, which is being in charge of debates."
Late last month, Trump fired off a warning shot, pondering why he, who is "leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers," should subject himself to "being libeled and abused."
"Obviously, this would be a blow to the RNC and to the rest of the Republican establishment," Terry Holt, a Republican strategist and founder of Holt Communication Strategies, said. "I think there's quite a bit more risk for Donald Trump to actually participate in the debates," referring to the opportunities rivals would have to go after him.
A litany of potential hopefuls, such as Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) and former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), have hinted at plans to target him aggressively.

Golly gee, what did they think would happen when the RNC intentionally plans and schedules debates WITHOUT contacting the top vote-getter in the Republican party.
Because they figure he would just HAVE to go along.
Well he doesn't. And he shouldn't.
And now there's rumors Tucker Carlson is going to arrange to moderate a Republican debate. I'm sure Trump will be there for that one. Let's see if all the McRomBushes (Nikki, Tim, Asa, Will, Chris and Chris) show up for a REAL debate.
… especially if he scheduled a campaign rally
If by “diminish” they mean no one will watch, then yeah.
President Trump needs to tell the bozos to send him their questions and he’ll Tweet the answers back to them. LOL.
The likes of Ronna Romney McDaniel certainly does nothing to damage the RNC legitimacy. The assclown decisions made in pervious elections did nothing to damage the RNC legitimacy. /s
And RSBN televised it. That's where the ratings would go.
Trump if finally opening a door to leave the GOP. Well done.
If you don’t like that, then present some real ideas instead of being deep-state shills and assistant DemocRATS, you linguine-spined fops.
Which goes to show you how well thought of the RNC is right now
Didn’t Biden say he wasn’t going to debate?
Odd...no lying media outrage over that.
...notsoodd
Real eyes
Realize
Real lies
He should host his own debates — moderated by Tucker Carlson. Then allow let whichever candidates GOP or Dem or Green or Commie or whatever who want to attend.
I thought we had a deep bench and a lot of talent, so much talent that we had to “move on” from the 45th President.(sarcasm)
Looks like the RNC and these minor league candidates need Trump or their ratings will suck.
Nobody will watch and people will be laughing about the scrubs.
I know I won’t be watching...
ROTFL
For real, right? What moron appointed her in the first place?!
Well then...
Republicans reelect Trump-backed McDaniel as party chairperson
Awwww, that would be so sad.
“It’s definitely more damaging for the RNC in their legitimacy,”
This is a beautiful thing, it’s about damned time. The RNC wants to push the likes of Asa, Nicky and purebred RINOs in your face.
Like!
A blow? RNC and company blew it in 2020 and are to complicit in the dc swamp to care, screw them all may a giant rock fall on there collective heads.
