Pence Confident in Qualifying for Debate Stage and Appeals to Donors
Former Vice President Mike Pence's campaign predicts that he will meet the donor threshold next week to qualify for the first Republican presidential debate. Pence's campaign manager, Steve DeMaura, stated that they have "well over" 30,000 unique donors and are averaging "more than" 1,000 new donors per day. While Pence has already met the polling threshold, he remains short of the donor threshold, which seven other candidates claim to have already reached. Pence's campaign is confident that their online and direct mail fundraising efforts will secure his qualification for the debate.
