Presidential Debate: Seven May Qualify: The second Republican presidential debate is scheduled for tomorrow, and at this writing it is still a bit unclear as to exactly who will participate. With enhanced debate requirements, it was believed that North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and ex-Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR), who both appeared in the first debate, would be disqualified leaving six participants. Former President Donald Trump also qualifies but is again declining to appear. A last minute move from Gov. Burgum, however, suggests that he in fact may earn a debate podium, while Mr. Hutchinson will fail to do so.
Six are sure to be present: Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), ex-Vice President Mike Pence, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, ex-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. Aside from Mr. Hutchinson, national commentator Larry Elder and former US Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) will also not meet the final requirements. Debate: DeSantis-Newsom Forum Set: Continuing their ongoing public political feud, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) have agreed to a date and state for their mutual debate challenge. The event will occur on November 30th at a site to be determined in Georgia. Fox News will air the forum that network headliner Sean Hannity will moderate. Comments are closed.
