The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced Monday evening that five 2024 GOP primary candidates will participate in Wednesday’s third debate in Miami, Florida, according to a press release.
Former President Donald Trump is skipping the third debate, as he did the first two, and is instead holding a rally in Florida during the same time frame. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott all met the RNC’s upped debate requirements and will take the stage, according to the press release.
“We are looking forward to our third debate in Miami, a welcome opportunity for our candidates to showcase our winning conservative agenda to the American people,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement. “We are especially honored to be the first political party to partner with a Jewish organization for a debate in our partnership with the Republican Jewish Coalition, and our candidates will reaffirm the Republican Party’s unwavering support of Israel and the Jewish community on the stage Wednesday night.
Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson took the first debate stage, but failed to meet the RNC’s increased thresholds for the second and third. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and former Vice President Mike Pence participated in the first two debates, but the former didn’t qualify for the third, and the latter has since dropped out of the race, joining conservative radio personality Larry Elder, Michigan businessman Perry Johnson, former Texas Rep. Will Hurd and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.

On stage and asking questions. They should all just blow each other with all the sexual tension between the journolistas and the “candidates”.
This is ridiculous.
All the excitement of a high school debate.
Not one of the candidates on that stage will have any chance of defeating the power arrayed against ANY republican talking head. DJT is the only one.
Corporate America put the US Senate in their pocket in 1913 under Woodrow Wilson when they passed the 17th amendment. Unfortunately, Corporate America has been replaced by International Corporations and they now own the US Senate. They have no interest in representing the “…several states…”, which was their stated purpose in the US Constitution.
Because of this incredibly greedy change to the Constitution, it now takes more than 20 million dollars to campaign for a Senate seat. Senators have to raise ten thousand dollars a day, every day, for six years to get re elected. To do this, they have to make promises to anybody willing to donate to their campaign, and the only people who have that kind of money are foreign corporations.
Before the 17th amendment, Senators were chosen by their state legislatures, and the cost to run for a Senate seat was ZERO DOLLARS.
This is the reason for the massive corruption. Everybody is on the take, from the top down.
A few folks from DC have brought this up, but they are forced to change the subject very quickly.
The graft is far too deep for anyone to expect Capitol Hill to try to repeal the 17th amendment.
Our only hope is that maybe someone might be brave enough to bring this subject up in a national debate, to give the issue national exposure. Too much to hope, I’m sure.
Really the only way would be to get this in front of SCOTUS, and hope that a conservative court would rule the amendment an unconstitutional breach of original intent, and force its repeal.
Otherwise, the corruption will continue until America is finally a bankrupt third world country, and there’s no more money to steal.
We're at the point now where we can stream the debate live on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter.
The Networks shouldn't have their way and demand that we use their reporters.
CryptoDemocrats.
Given the poll numbers, I have to assume anyone still running for the GOP nomination believes Trump is going to jail or will otherwise become ineligible.
Too much drama, too much emotion and NO logic.
“...Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott all met the RNC’s upped debate requirements ...”
RNC requirements - either ineligible; or total obedience to the Swamp
Too much drama, too much emotion and NO logic.
If they want to write articles, then they can do that.
But I don't think they do well on TV. If you are a talented politician, it's too easy to "toy with the emotions" of a female reporter, especially in the political arena.
If they want to do weather on 6:00 news, that's more their speed.
“the winner of the third “debate” will once again be DJT.”
What’s hilarious is that PDJT will have a rally across the street from the debate at the exact same time. Matter troll
Perry Johnson dropped out a couple weeks ago IIRC.
Master not matter.
Why?
“NBC News will host the third debate, with its own Lester Holt and Kristen Welker moderating alongside Salem Radio Network’s Hugh Hewitt.”
Hostile left-wing activists and a token RINO will interrogate Republican presidential candidates on left-wing news show.
Every question will be from a left-wing point of view. Conservative issues and viewpoints will once again be ignored. No change from virtually every other debate.
The RNC is controlled opposition.
My reaction too...
I wonder if the Keebler Elves are going to debate which batch of cookies to make next.
I infer you don’t know any of them. They are the toughest, no-nonsense, plain talking, no-hold-barred investigative journalists out there. Men seem cowed and pull their punches. These women are tough.
the sole point of this farce is to take down Donald J. Trump ... period ... i pray that when Trump is re-elected President, that he replaces McDaniels and the entire upper echelon of the RNC with his own people ...
