So ultimately, President Trump will make a decision as we get closer. He has not said anything definitive, one way or the other. I&#8217;m not expecting him to participate, though.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Ready to Debate<\/h3>\n<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is considered Trump&#8217;s top challenger in the primary, has made it clear that he will be attending the debates regardless of Trump&#8217;s presence. In an interview with Fox News, DeSantis confidently stated, &#8220;I&#8217;ll be there, regardless. I hope everybody who is eligible comes. I think it is an important part of the process, and I look forward to being able to be on the stage and introducing our candidacy and our vision and our leadership to a wide audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Mockery from New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu<\/h3>\n<p>New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu took a jab at Trump over speculation that he may avoid participating in the debates due to concerns about his performance.
