Pence qualifies for first Republican presidential debate, campaign saysBy Victor Nava
August 7, 2023
Former Vice President Mike Pence has qualified for the first Republican presidential primary debate, which will be held later this month in Wisconsin, his campaign announced Monday.
Pence has received donations from 40,000 individual donors and his campaign on Monday filed the 2024 GOP presidential hopeful’s fundraising numbers with the Republican National Committee for verification, becoming the first campaign to do so, according to Fox News.
Pence had already cracked the RNC’s polling threshold requiring GOP presidential candidates to have at least 1% support in national polls in order to take the stage in Milwaukee, Wisc., on Aug. 23.
“Mike Pence made quick and easy work of the donor threshold, and he’s looking forward to a substantive debate about the issues important to the American people. Hopefully, former President Trump has the courage to show up,” Pence campaign spokesman Devin O’Malley said in a statement to Fox News.
The Pence campaign did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
