Francis Suarez's Campaign at Risk: Exclusion from GOP Debate Raises Concerns

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, a presidential candidate, believes that if a candidate fails to meet the minimum requirements to qualify for a debate, they should drop out. Suarez, who has met the donor threshold but not the polling numbers required, argues that the polling requirements are unfair for lesser-known candidates. Despite the challenges, Suarez remains confident that he will make the debate stage on August 23 in Milwaukee.

"North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum Secures Spot in GOP Primary Debate with Innovative Fundraising Strategy"

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has qualified for the first GOP presidential primary debate, becoming the seventh candidate to do so. Burgum, a former software executive, has poured his personal wealth into his campaign and used an unusual tactic of offering $20 gift cards to donors who gave his campaign a dollar to meet the Republican National Committee's requirement of 40,000 unique donors. He crossed the donor threshold last week and also passed the polling threshold by hitting 1 percent in a national poll. However, there are doubts about whether all seven qualified candidates, including former President Donald Trump, will show up for the debate.

"Republican Debate Criteria Sparks Controversy and Competition Among Networks"

The Republican National Committee has announced that the first presidential primary debate will take place on August 23 in Milwaukee and set the polling and donor thresholds candidates must meet to make the stage. Candidates will need to register at least 1% in three national polls or a combination of national polls and a poll from the early-voting states recognized by the RNC. Qualifying candidates will also need a minimum of 40,000 unique donors to their principal presidential campaign committee, with at least 200 unique donors per state or territory in 20+ states and/or territories. The candidates must also sign a pledge agreeing to support the eventual party nominee.
