A rising number of Republicans are trying to pressure Donald Trump to join a debate with his GOP rivals, though the former president refuses to commit to any such event.
President Biden’s long shot primary rivals increasingly want to debate him in 2024, but those demands are being ignored by the White House and haven’t picked up steam with progressives in Congress.
A pledge to support the GOP nominee is among the criteria the Republican National Committee set to determine who gets to be in its presidential debates.
Former President Trump says he has not made a final decision as to whether he will participate in the first Republican presidential primary debate later this summer.
Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said Sunday it was a “useless idea” to force 2024 GOP contenders to sign a pledge to back the party's ultimate nominee in order to participate in primary debates.
