Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis and the others will be able to tackle their shows in two and a half months. The Republican candidates for the 2024 US presidential election will face each other in a first debate organized on August 23 in the state of Wisconsin, the “Grand Old Party” announced this Friday.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott and future former Vice President Mike Pence… A more developed field of candidates seeks to block the path of former President Donald Trump. .
A possible second debate on August 24
To be eligible to participate in the debates, they must meet a number of criteria (polls, fundraisers, etc.) and all must commit to supporting the party-invested Republican candidate. If there are too many candidates, a second debate could be arranged on August 24, party leader Ronna McDaniel said.
The winner of these primaries will face in November 2024 the candidate chosen by the Democratic Party, most likely President Joe Biden.
The choice of Milwaukee, the largest city in Wisconsin, to host this debate is not due to chance: this state in the Great Lakes region is hotly contested between Republicans and Democrats in every election. The Democratic leader had won it by a hair in 2020.
