After former President Trump said this week that he wouldn’t be appearing at the GOP’s primary debate in Milwaukee, Fox News took steps to keep his representatives from going.
According to a Fox News memo received by Axios, the network told Trump’s campaign this week that only “participating candidate/campaigns” would be able to get into the debate “spin room,” which is where top fans of candidates talk up their candidate and criticize opponents.
Other campaigns that didn’t make the cut wouldn’t be able to send their surrogates onto the network either.
The 77-year-old former president stated this week that the findings of a CBS News GOP primary survey demonstrated that the primary was finished and that he didn’t have to participate in a debate. This was despite the fact that a significant Iowa poll released this week suggested that the race may be considerably tighter in the crucial primary state.
“Because of that, I won’t be in the debates!” Trump said on social media.
Instead, the former president filmed a pre-recorded interview alongside former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, which will be aired on social media close to the time of the debate.
The CBS News survey that Trump used to say he didn’t have to go to the debate had a question for “probable Republican primary voters” regarding whether or not Trump would show up to the debate.
The question asked, “Do you believe that Donald Trump should or shouldn’t be a part of the Republican debate?”
73% of those who answered said he “should” go to the debate, while only 27% said he “shouldn’t.”
This week, “Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy said that Trump might be benefiting President Biden by not going to the debates. Doocy said that by not going to the debates, Trump gave Biden the chance to not fight Trump in the event Trump ended up the Republican Party choice.
Doocy said, “Unfortunately, Donald Trump could be helping Joe Biden by avoiding the debates because he gives Joe Biden a reason not to debate him.”
He said, “That had been one of the things that Ronna McDaniel stated to the former president while she was attempting to get him to have the first debate.” But he replied, “Nope, I do not intend to do it.”
Doocy said, “If Donald Trump says, ‘Everyone knows me, I have no need to go through with it,’ then Joe Biden declares, ‘Everyone knows me. I am the president.'”
What ever reason why Trump didn’t debate doesn’t matter we know Trump way ahead all others. Beside on Tucker rateing were over 200million. Compare to fox 12 million .people an other can say what they want but truth is Trump is best rateing an polls prove it
I agree
2million percent

Because they know when Trump’s president he’s gonna do some serious work and send all these undocumented illegals immigrants back to their countries.and the reason why they want these undocumented illegals immigrants here is because they know the illegals will work for nothing almost.and they trying to replace us americans.think about it.we are being replaced and the illegals are the new americans.stand up America these people don’t even like us americans.time to do what we do best and send them illegals to hell.trump trump 2024 build that wall
Any one can be trained to debate, doesn’t mean they can handle the top job of leading this country. The debates between candidates started in the early sixties, they became a trend but they have never been mandatory. It’s all just another way for the fake news to make money. Look where the media hooplah got us in 2008. We are all paying the price for that. A well trained hollow suit with a well rehearsed rhetorical speech who did nothing but destroy.
Boy did he ever!!!!!! And I DO BELIEVE HIS BC WAS FORGED/FAKED.
HATERS YOU CAN’T STAND RATINGS TRUMP/TUCKER TOOK AWAY FROM THE DEBATE GOT SLIM TO NONE
President Trump has proven himself as the BEST PRESIDENT EVER! Because he did what he said he would do! He also brought peace to the middle east! Which ended when Dumb Joe killed our troops in Afghanistan. There was also NO INFLATION, CHEAP PRICES for everything And we all could sleep at night knowing we have Police and military in place to protect us unlike Dumb Joe allowing every criminal, and terrorist and illegal into the Country! Trump had other Countries paying us for importing their goods to America! And President Trump did NOT receive payments from our enemies like Dumb joe has and still is! Just how will the left cheat lie and steal the vote this time around? We already see them setting up the fake collusion scams and lies already thanks to those despicable Trump haters that instead of doing their jobs they spend their lives trying to make lies stick to Trump that they make up & were put in place by nefarious leaders from the left! if we all dont get killed off by Bidens terrorist friends before we reelect our REAL President Trump again? or will Dumb Joe allow them to kill us off to hide his Lying, cheating, stealing pedophile Dumb Joe antics before we get the chance to make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Trump 2024
I guess Biden thinks he’s being ‘cute’ with the response, “Everybody knows me. I’m the president’… BUT, he should realize that’s why we want him to be replaced by the ‘other side’ We DO know him & he is a failure as president. Not our fault. Jill allowed it to happen. [honesty- There is NO way the man that did not campaign, does NOT know what he’s doing & has NO people show up to see him– won that election. Give me a break!!!! He certainly is NO ‘Trump’. MAGA, please.
Bugger Off Naomi…No doubt you are a Liberal Nutjob!
Right, i body slamed fox 3 year ago when they tried to tell me the election wasn’t stolen and haven’ watched since !!!!!
Fox has shot themselves in the foot and these folks have no concept of what a news station does REPORT THE TRUE NEWS. I threw them under the bus at the last election and will not go back. TRUMP 24
CBS NEWS SURVEY FOR WHO…LIBERAL DEMOCRATS?
CONSERVA/IVES DON’T WATCH CBS. SO THEIR SURVEY IS WORTHLESS!
I hadn’t watch Fox for a while then came across it and saw all the campaign photos pro Trump on half their screen…way to go
Murdock!….
So much publicity for President Trump but had to move on to another station since your blocking off the newscast.
The reason Biden want debate is because he can’t put a sentence together.
