The former US president cited his polling lead for his refusal to take part in the debates.
Former US president Donald Trump will travel to Michigan to address autoworker union members today.
The 77-year-old former president announced in August that he would be skipping the debates, citing his commanding polling lead. Instead, he is planning to address former and current autoworker union members in Michigan, the historic heart of the US car industry and a key battleground for the election campaign.
Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at the Lawfare Project, says Trump’s standoffish strategy is intended to send the message that he is the “inevitable” choice to be the Republican standard-bearer in 2024. Trump’s chief rival, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, will face off against political newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy, former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, Trump’s former vice-president Mike Pence, and the mercurial tycoon’s chief antagonist, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie.
Filitti cautioned that while Trump’s absences do little to harm him in the primary, they could hurt his standing among traditional Republicans in the general election. The debate comes as Haley, a former South Carolina governor as well as a Trump administration figure, enjoys a moment in the sun.
