Trump Campaign Calls for Immediate Cancellation of Primary Debates
In a bold move, President Donald Trump’s campaign has demanded that the Republican National Committee (RNC) cancel all remaining primary debates and shift their focus to safeguarding the integrity of the upcoming election.
“The RNC should immediately cancel the Miami debate and put an end to all future debates. It’s time to redirect our resources towards preventing the Democrats from stealing the 2024 election,” stated Trump campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita.
They further emphasized that failure to cancel the debates would be seen as a dismissal of grassroots concerns about voter integrity, suggesting that national Republicans prioritize aiding Joe Biden over ensuring a secure and fair election.
