Miami Mayor Francis Suarez says he's qualified for next week’s Republican opening presidential debate.
, becoming the ninth White House hopeful to meet the fundraising and polling thresholds required to participate in the opening face-off of the 2024 campaign.
So far, nine candidates say they have met the debate qualifications, although former President Donald Trump has indicated he may not attend. To qualify for the prime-time debate, candidates need to satisfy polling and donor requirements set by the Republican National Committee: at least 1% in three high-quality national polls or a mix of national and early-state polls and a minimum of 40,000 donors, with 200 in 20 or more states.
"The poor guy can’t get out of his own way. You see the leaked memo. It’s just one misstep after another," Suarez said of DeSantis, suggesting that DeSantis' divisive approach to leadership would be further exposed during the debate. He offered a chance to see soccer legend Lionel Messi’s debut as a player for Inter Miami, saying donors who gave $1 would be entered in a chance to get front-row tickets. Suarez also took a page from North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum’s campaign playbook by offering a $20 “Bidenomics Relief Card” in return for $1 donations. A super PAC supporting Suarez launched a sweepstakes for a chance at up to $15,000 in tuition, in exchange for a $1 donation to Suarez’s campaign.
