WASHINGTON — After two heated clashes in Wisconsin and California, Republican presidential candidates will again face off in Miami, Florida, on Wednesday for the third GOP primary debate.
But the stage will be less crowded this time around.
The Republican National Committee announced that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott have qualified for the third debate.
“We are looking forward to our third debate in Miami, a welcome opportunity for our candidates to showcase our winning conservative agenda to the American people,” the committee said in a statement. “We are especially honored to be the first political party to partner with a Jewish organization for a debate in our partnership with the Republican Jewish Coalition, and our candidates will reaffirm the Republican Party’s unwavering support of Israel and the Jewish community on the stage Wednesday night.”
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who qualified for the first two debates, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who only qualified for the first event, did not make the stage.
And former Vice President Mike Pence, who appeared at the first two debates, dropped out of the presidential race in late October.
Candidates had to meet a higher bar to participate in the third debate than the first two. White House hopefuls must have polled at least 4% in two national polls or 4% in one national poll and one early state poll from states recognized by the committee.
They must also have had a minimum of 70,000 unique donors and signed the “Beat Biden” pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee.
Burgum struggled to make headway with the criteria. Though he earned 4% in one state poll, he failed to make ground with a national poll and another state poll, according to an analysis from POLITICO.
Hutchinson, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, also hasn’t reached 4% in state or national polls, according to the analysis.
Meanwhile, Trump has vowed he will skip the primary debates, citing his lead in national and state polls. The former president has also said he wouldn’t sign the “Beat Biden” pledge to support a GOP nominee, even if it isn’t him.
