Republican 2024 candidates race to qualify for first primary debate
The New York Post ^ | 07/03/2023 | Josh Christenson

Five Republican presidential candidates say they have met fundraising benchmarks to participate in the party’s first primary debate next month, as other campaigns hustle both to secure the necessary financial support and hit the required polling thresholds.

Campaign reps for former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy each told The Post Monday that they had already been backed by 40,000 unique donors — including 200 unique donors in at least 20 states or territories — more than seven weeks before the first Republican National Committee-sponsored debate Aug. 23 in Milwaukee, Wis.

The next step for GOP presidential hopefuls looking for a debate slot is to garner at least 1% support in three independent national polls or two national polls and one independent poll from two of four early voting states — Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. *** As of Monday, seven Republican candidates are polling above 1% in RealClearPolitics’ national average. Of those seven, former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have not said whether they met the RNC’s donor threshold — though they still have until Aug. 21 to hit the target.

Other candidates, including former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former Texas GOP Rep. Will Hurd, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and conservative radio host Larry Elder, are all polling below 1% in the RCP average, with Hutchinson (0.8%) and Elder (0.7%) closest to breaking through. ***

Vivek loves his H1B Indians. Never will I vote for him or any ticket that includes him.

Has Trump come to faith in Christ yet?

Ask Pence, ask Nikki, ask yourself honestly.

Going on FOX with a bunch of backbenchers is a waste. FOX has already chosen their candidate until they support the RAT on election day as they always do.

I do not have personal experience.
He was raised Presbyterian and has been very willing to be prayed over by believers.
In the Trump WH, staff meetings began with prayer.
Really all I know.
But Judeo Christian values underlie our Constitution.

There are many who claim the name of Christ who do not live it out.
The issue will be whether they have absorbed the foundation that underlies our Constitution.
Which, is not found in Hinduism.

That may not interest you at all, but it interests me greatly.

It is a foundational starting point. Not everything.

One thing about Trump is that he not a chicken.

A chicken and a coward stabs people in the back who have helped them when they needed help.

You should be happy if Trump declines.
DeGlobalist can have lots of debate practice with Christie, Pence and Haley.
They can all fight over the GOPe votes.

Biden is incapable of debate now. That said, he did a pretty handy job of debating Paul Ryan once.

Since FOX has made it known they are biased, and those gab sessions hosted by hacks are not really debates, why would anyone want to waste their time allowing Bret Bair and MaaTHA to run the show and manipulate responses?
