Former President Donald Trump will not attend the first Republican debate, but he will send a surrogate on his behalf.
Trump’s son and his fiancé, Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle, will attend the first GOP debate in the former president’s absence, according to reporting by the Daily Caller.
“We’re excited to see all of our friends in Milwaukee on Wednesday in support of President Trump. We’re confident that in 2024, GOP voters will reject the RINO establishment and re-nominate President Trump in a landslide,” Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle told the Caller.
The two plan to do media appearances for Trump while also promoting their own Rumble shows.
However, Fox News may be trying to keep them out of the “spin room”.
A spin room is where representatives of the candidate give post-performance reviews to the media after the debate.
Bret Baier, a co-moderator, said Trump’s surrogates would need to be “invited” to the room by a member of the media in order to participate.
Guilfoyle expressed disappointment in the policy to Newsmax.
“I think, unfortunately, for a media company that I used to work for, you would expect better,” she said. “But this is just really pathetic messaging. They’re just stepping out on themselves here. It’s backfiring spectacularly. It’s taking distraction away from the focus on the debate.”
“And I’d just like to see somebody try to stop Don Jr. and me from going someplace,” she added.
Trump Wont Debate At All
Former President Donald Trump confirmed over the weekend that he will not participate in any of the primary debates.
“The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had, with Energy Independence, Strong Borders & Military, Biggest EVER Tax & Regulation Cuts, No Inflation, Strongest Economy in History, & much more. I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!” he announced on Truth Social.
He will instead sit down with ex-Fox star Tucker Carlson for an interview.
FOX news has slowly turned to shit, I no longer watch them like I use to.
Amen, Mr. Steward!
I think the stage is being set for a Trump, Jr. 2028 run.
What a total fiasco. These things are not debates. They are question and answer affaires controlled by a biased media figure. These so called moderators manipulate the narrative in an attempt to fit their thinly veiled agenda often times interjecting themselves into the conversation when the dialog starts to stray from their goal. Trump is correct in his assessment of the phony/corrupt sham.
Donald Sr will be very much at the debate. Everyone there will be debating him. Just as they have since 2015.
FOX has certainly lost all credibility from this Prior household. They lost our viewership a long time ago even though we like many of their other shows. We can do without them.
There is absolutely nothing for DJT to debate, other than what the Deep State Biden is doing to this nation. As far as I am concerned, those running against Trump are bought and paid for to do so and cannot be trusted. They get a big fat zero in my personal polling. They do not qualify to wipe the dirt from DJT’s shoes and are traitors to the cause of making America great again. Anyone who does not want to do that, should not be involved our government…maybe find a job in government in China or Russia?
GOOD JOB MR TRUMP….
