"Francis Suarez: From Miami Mayor to GOP Debate Contender"
TL;DR Summary
Republican presidential candidates have until Monday evening to meet the Republican National Committee's polling and donor requirements in order to qualify for the first GOP primary debate on August 23. So far, eight candidates have met the minimum standards, but only five have signed the RNC's loyalty pledge. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez may still qualify, while former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and former Texas Rep. Will Hurd are unlikely to make it. Former President Donald Trump has yet to sign the pledge, raising the possibility that the debate won't feature the party's front-runner.
