The former president made his declaration on his Truth Social account, citing a CBS poll that apparently had him 46 points ahead of Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“New CBS POLL, just out, has me leading the field by ‘legendary’ numbers. TRUMP 62%, 46 Points above DeSanctimonious (who is crashing like an ailing bird!), Ramaswamy 7%, Pence 5%, Scott 3%, Haley 2%, Sloppy Chris Christie 2%, ‘Aida’ Hutchinson 1%,” he said.
“The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had, with Energy Independence, Strong Borders & Military, Biggest EVER Tax & Regulation Cuts, No Inflation, Strongest Economy in History, & much more. I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!” he added.
The former president’s post comes after he said in a recent interview that he has no desire to step onto the debate stage with people polling at one or two percent.
“I don’t know that I should be doing it, to be up against a hostile network with hostile people that are polling at zero. I mean, they don’t have any votes. One of them had actually a zero with an arrow pointing left. I’m trying to figure out what that means. It probably means they have too many votes, you know, like the election. But they’re at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, maybe—and I’m in the 60s. I see a poll the other day … I’m at 78, and you have people at zero,” Trump said.
As Breitbart News reported, the CBS News/YouGov poll gave the former president the biggest lead over his primary opponents, which comes in the wake of a string of indictments related to the 2020

“Former President Donald Trump posted his biggest lead yet over his rivals at 62 percent of likely Republican primary voters, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll published Sunday,” reported Breitbart News. “His top rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has fallen farther back from earlier this summer, the poll showed, to 16 percent. The other candidates are in the single digits, with third runner-up Vivek Ramaswamy at seven percent.”
The debates will be a disaster
No intention of watching the “debates” - no reason to.
Chris Christie’s presence alone is enough to keep it off in our house.
He should be talking about Maui and plans the deep state has for Lahaina. Was it an ‘accident’? The seed has been planted regarding the native Hawaiians being the left out victims of the process. Trump should water the plant.
Vivek will probably be the one to bring it up.
On a hostile network with that rat hack Brett moderating. Why would he.
By indicting Trump the left prevented him from attending the debates.
Smart move by Trump, his track record speaks for itself. The other wanna-be candidates cannot even come close to Trump’s Dynamic Intellectual Genius.
Why give the GOPe scumbags any oxygen? Good for Trump.
Fantastic episode…
Do not watch TV for Stupid People this Wednesday.
FOX is done. Nobody watches FOX anymore. The legacy media is really Fake News and boring.
Even if the Maui fire was an accident the republicans should be running with it. Anti colonialism is very popular these days. Liberation movements. We’re the party of freedom and all the Hawaiians living in the CONUS are priced out. Left out too. We can still keep a military presence there(Benjamin’s).
I’d steal this to use every time Sundance Pubbie posts another Fake News blog article, but who has time to keep up?
And yet he's doing Tucker.
Your theory is nonsense.
Why would he debate these people who rode his coat tails then turned on him?
By indicting Trump the left prevented him from attending the debates.

Bull Cheese. Trump wasn’t invited to debate. As he refused to sign the Loyalty Pledge.
After Trump gets locked up the great conservative governor Ron DeStanis numbers will go up when the Trump arm pits realizing he is a lost cause
I agree. Freedom for Hawaii. At the very least, the Democrats will lose two Senators. Which is why they'll never go for it.
What would he say, exactly to incriminate himself?
