NYT: Trump To Skip First Republican Presidential Debate

US

The New York Times has reported that former President Donald Trump intends to skip the first Republican Presidential debate set to take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 23.

  • NYT: "In the past 24 hours, Mr. Trump has told people close to him that he has made up his mind and will skip the debate in Milwaukee, according to two of the people briefed on the matter."
  • NYT: "Trump’s apparent decision to skip the first debate of the presidential nominating contest is a major affront to both the [Republican National Committee] and [host] Fox News..."
  • The Times reports that Trump will instead sit for a interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
  • The news comes as Trump has surged to a powerful lead in Republican primary polling, solidifying support with his core base amidst four criminal indictments.
  • Recent polling, however, has suggested that Trump may be showing sign of losing support amongst swing voters in a hypothetical 2024 matchup with President Biden.
  • Trump's absence on the debate stage is likely to impact interest in the first debate and further diminish the ability of other candidates to connect with the GOP base.
