Wednesday is the first of two scheduled GOP primary debates so far, with the second set for September 27 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum in Simi Valley, CA. That debate will air live on Fox Business.
A total of eight GOP candidates have qualified for the podium at the opening debate Wednesday after meeting polling and fundraising thresholds, as well as agreeing to sign a pledge to support the party’s eventual nominee. The official list of participants: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, former pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.
Donald Trump, the former president who is running again and currently leading in early GOP polls, has said he will not attend the debate. He is currently battling criminal indictments for his role in the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election that he lost to Biden.
The Democrats don’t plan any primary debates as President Joe Biden seeks reelection.
