Republican presidential primary candidates will need to meet relatively stringent polling requirements to participate in the fourth debate in December, the Republican National Committee said on Friday, which could result in a winnowing of the field.
Republican presidential candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis waves during a campaign event in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, U.S., October 20, 2023. REUTERS/Randall Hillwill need to meet relatively stringent polling requirements to participate in the fourth debate in December, the Republican National Committee said on Friday, which could result in a winnowing of the field.
To qualify, candidates will need to receive 6% support in at least two national polls, or both 6% in one national poll and 6% in one statewide poll in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina or Nevada. Those are crucial states in the nominating process, as they are the first four to select their preferred nominee.
Traditionally, candidates that fail to make a debate stage lose the attention of the media, voters and donors. For the candidates that make it, a smaller stage will mean more speaking time, giving them valuable exposure in the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses, set for Jan. 15. Unless their fortunes improve, U.S. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum would not make the stage in Alabama.
