Donald Trump has repeatedly signaled that he might skip the first Republican presidential primary debate next month.Other GOP candidates are still pushing to land a spot on the debate stage.
Trump has repeatedly signaled that he might skip the first debate, set for Aug. 23 in Milwaukee, wondering aloud why he would join the fray just to expose himself to a barrage of attacks from his competitors. "When you have a big lead, you don't do it," Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired Sunday. He added that he still hasn't made up his mind.
Trump's absence would take that chance off the table, and any heat he might take for refusing to confront his rivals isn't expected to drag down his lead.
