Meet the Eight Candidates Appearing in the First Republican Primary Debate



Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 21 Aug 2023

The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced the eight presidential candidates who will appear in the first GOP debate on Wednesday.

The following candidates are participating in Wednesday’s debate: Gov. Doug Burgum (ND), former Gov. Chris Christie (NJ), Gov. Ron DeSantis (FL), former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (AR), former Vice President Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Sen. Tim Scott (SC).

Fox News will host the debate Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the RNC “is excited to showcase our diverse candidate field and the conservative vision to beat Joe Biden on the debate stage Wednesday night.”

“I’d like to thank the RNC’s debate committee Chairman Dave Bossie and Co-Chair Anne Hathaway and our debate partners, Fox News, Young America’s Foundation, and Rumble for their work to kick off the primary process that will put our Party and eventual nominee in the best position to take back the White House next fall,” she added in a statement.

Notably missing is the Republican primary frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, who announced he would not be attending Wednesday’s debate due to a significant polling advantage.

You have it backwards. This is known as the adult debate -- Trump is going to be absent; otherwise it would be the kiddie debate.

2024 GOP Candidate Doug Burgum Taken To Hospital Hours Before First Debate
 Martin Walsh
August 23, 2023


North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum was taken to a hospital in Milwaukee on Tuesday after getting hurt while playing pick-up basketball with his staff.

His participation in the Republican presidential debate on Fox News on Wednesday night is currently in doubt. Fox News was informed by Burgum’s campaign that it is “unclear if he will be able to stand at the debate.” ...  Conservative Brief

In previous years, the frontrunner didn't consider himself too good to debate.

In previous years, the frontrunner didn't consider himself too good to debate.

In previous years, the frontrunner wasn't up 45% plus, over his two closest challengers.

Consider President Trump getting a bye for having the best overall record.

I'm sure he would have no issue debating 'finalists'.

Of the eight there is only one I would even consider voting for in the primary and that is Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota. Furthermore, there are several among them who, if they get the nomination, will ensure my voting third party in the general.
