Larry Elder Tells Newsmax: I Will Participate in First GOP Primary Debate
Conservative talk show host and potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate Larry Elder has stated that he will participate in Wednesday night’s first GOP primary debate, despite the Republican National Committee (RNC) stating that he did not meet the qualifications to participate. Elder, along with businessman Perry Johnson and former Rep. Will Hurd, are upset about being left off the debate stage. The qualifications set by the RNC include having a certain number of national donors, polling at least 1% in national polls, and signing a pledge of support for the party’s nominee. Elder claims to have met all the requirements and argues that the RNC is favoring certain candidates, particularly Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Elder aims to bring attention to issues such as fatherlessness, school choice, and criminal justice reform.
