Some GOP presidential candidates struggle to qualify for debate
Some GOP presidential hopefuls are struggling to meet fundraising and polling requirements to make it on the debate stage. In order to participate in the Milwaukee debate next month, Republican candidates must have received contributions from at least 40-thousand individual donors. Last week, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said he only received contributions from “over” 5-thousand donors. Candidates also must earn at least 1% in the polls. The candidates who say they have qualified so far include Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy.
