The list of candidates who will take the stage in Milwaukee does not include former president Donald Trump.
This combination of photos shows Republican presidential candidates, top row from left, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy, bottom row from left, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Governor Asa Hutchinson.
Former president Donald Trump, the party’s current front-runner, has opted to skip the debate and instead participate in a prerecorded interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Candidates will be placed on the debate stage based on where they rank in the polls. The RNC announced that DeSantis, who ranks first in the polls among the group onstage, will be in the center next to Ramaswamy, who ranks second. Pence and Haley take spots three and four to the left and right of center, followed by Christie and Scott to make up spots five and six respectively.
But Trump is expected to loom large over Wednesday’s debate. Fox News moderators Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum have signaled that they plan to press the candidates for their opinions on Trump’s alleged crimes. And the attention normally bestowed on a debate’s standout performer could be cut short - because Trump faces a Friday deadline to surrender in Fulton County, Ga., where he and 18 others were charged with crimes related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Elder announced Tuesday that he plans to sue the RNC, writing on the social media platform X, “I will fight to be on that debate stage because I fully met all of the requirements to do so.”“Our campaign hit every metric put forward by the RNC and we have qualified for the debate. We’ll be in Milwaukee Wednesday and will have more to say [on Tuesday],” Johnson added.
