As the first Republican 2024 presidential debate draws near, seven candidates have said they have met the qualifications to hold a spot on the stage in Milwaukee.
To participate, GOP candidates must meet a number of criteria as given by the Republican National Committee. Presidential contenders must poll at 1% in three qualifying national polls or two national polls and one qualifying early-state poll. They need to have received funds from a minimum of 40,000 unique donors, with 200 unique donors in 20 or more states.
Here is a look at the current status of where the presidential hopefuls stand in terms of qualifications.Former President Donald Trump met the criteria to qualify for the debate; however, it is unclear whether or not he will attend the event, citing his majority polling advantage over the competition.

Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants, rose to national prominence during her time as South Carolina’s governor, where she passed sweeping laws such as dropping Common Core education standards. She was selected by Trump to serve as an ambassador to the United Nations and was confirmed by the Senate in a large majority of 96 to 4 before resigning from her role in 2018.
He made a name for himself in right-wing circles by opposing “woke” capitalism and is a self-described political nationalist. Christie endorsed Trump in the 2016 election and advised him in the race; however, he has since become one of the former president’s biggest critics, telling reporters the 2020 election lies was his breaking point.
