RNC’s Ronna McDaniel Reacts to Trump’s Threat to Skip Debates

Trump Free to Skip 2024 Presidential Debates, Says RNC Head

Former President Donald Trump has been making headlines again, this time for suggesting that he may skip the primary debates for the 2024 presidential election. And according to Ronna McDaniel, head of the Republican National Committee (RNC), that’s perfectly fine.

While some may see this as a controversial move, McDaniel believes that it’s ultimately up to each candidate to decide whether or not to participate. “That’s his choice. And every candidate is going to make that calculation,” she said in a recent interview with “Fox News Sunday.”

What Do the American People Want?

But what about the American people? Don’t they want to see the candidates go head-to-head in a debate? McDaniel thinks so. “They want to see what they’re articulating, and especially, what is your plan to take us out of the misery of Joe Biden,” she said.

Despite Trump’s recent comments, the RNC has been in touch with all Republican candidates and some GOP members who are considering running, according to McDaniel. “Yes, we’re talking with them all the time,” she said.

As for Trump’s reasons for potentially skipping the debates, he cited the hostile networks and “TRUMP & MAGA-hating anchors” who would be asking the questions. “Why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?” he wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.

While some may sympathize with Trump’s concerns, others may see this as a missed opportunity to engage with voters and showcase his ideas for the future.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the decision to participate in the debates is up to each candidate. But as McDaniel points out, the American people want to see what the candidates have to say and how they plan to lead the country forward. So whether or not Trump decides to participate, the debates will go on, and the American people will be watching.

• Will Trump skip the debates?
• Will other Republican candidates step up to the plate?
• Only time will tell.
