When asked about Trump&#8217;s potential\u200d absence\u2063 from the first \u200cdebate \u2064hosted by \u2062Fox News on August 23 in Milwaukee, DeSantis emphasized the importance of \u200dengaging in\u2064 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/candace-owens-the-media-is-lying-to-you-about-george-floyd-and-makhia-bryant\/\" title=\"CANDACE OWENS: The Media Is Lying To You About George Floyd And Ma\u2019Khia Bryant\">meaningful discussion<\/a> about the\u200d future of the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Yeah, I think he ought to debate,&#8221; DeSantis stated confidently. &#8220;I&#8217;m going\u200b to debate; I&#8217;m going to be\u2064 there. It&#8217;s a great opportunity for us\u200c to have a \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-ag-paxton-20-states-sue-biden-over-keystone-pipeline\/\" title=\"Texas AG Paxton &#038; 20 states sue Biden over Keystone pipeline\">great discussion<\/a> about the country&#8217;s\u2063 future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">DeSantis firmly \u200dbelieves that no one is entitled to be nominated and that earning it through participation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/al-qaeda-is-back-in-afghanistan-already-biden-spox-john-kirby-faces-rapid-fire-questions\/\" title=\"Al Qaeda Is Back In Afghanistan Already? Biden Spox John Kirby Faces Rapid Fire Questions\">answering tough questions<\/a> is crucial. He emphasized the urgency of reversing the decline the country is currently experiencing.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Nobody&#8217;s \u2062entitled to\u200c be nominated; you&#8217;ve got to earn it,&#8221; DeSantis added. &#8220;And I think he should show up and make his case\u2064 and \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-a-mess-team-biden-loses-track-of-20-million-covid-19-doses-report\/\" title=\"\u2018It\u2019s A Mess\u2019: Team Biden Loses Track Of 20 Million COVID-19 Doses: Report\">answer questions<\/a> like the rest of us. At the end of the day, this country&#8217;s in decline. We all see that, we all know that.\u2064 I&#8217;m running because I want to reverse the decline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis also expressed\u2063 his hope that future Republican debates would focus on substantive issues\u2064 rather than personal attacks.\u2064 He\u200d pledged not\u200d to engage in name-calling, even if Trump were to initiate \u200bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;When \u200bI announced my candidacy in May I was asked\u2063 questions about Trump\u200c criticizing me,&#8221; DeSantis explained. &#8220;I hit back very directly\u200b but it was\u200b on substance. I&#8217;m not going to attack him personally. I&#8217;m\u200d not going \u200bto call \u200chim names. I&#8217;m not gonna do that. That&#8217;s just not my style, not my cup of\u200c tea.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking\u200d ahead, \u2064DeSantis shared his determination to hit the ground running if \u200belected president in 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;We&#8217;re gonna spit nails,&#8221; DeSantis declared. &#8220;We&#8217;re gonna bring all\u2062 this stuff in for a landing and the\u2063 country will\u200d be better off for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In late June, NBC News reported that Trump \u2063was considering skipping the GOP\u2064 debate and organizing his own event \u200cinstead. This wouldn&#8217;t be the first time\u2063 Trump has chosen not to participate in debates, as he famously skipped the final Republican debate before the \u2062Iowa caucuses in 2016. However, DeSantis remains\u2063 committed to\u200c attending the debates and engaging with his fellow candidates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earlier\u2064 this month, DeSantis \u200demphasized the importance of appealing beyond the \u2062Republican party&#8217;s base, stating, &#8220;At the end of the day, people want to\u2064 win, and you can&#8217;t win \u2062with just Republican voters.\u200d I think we showed in Florida, if you want a big victory, you&#8217;ve got to \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/he-should-show-up-and-make-his-case-desantis-says-trump-should-join-debate\/\" title=\"'DeSantis urges Trump to attend debate and present his case.'\">win \u200cindependent voters<\/a>, you&#8217;ve\u200c got to win\u2064 people who haven&#8217;t voted for our party in the \u2062last several cycles. I&#8217;ve shown I can do that, and I think we can do \u200bit nationally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ill-be-there-desantis-says-hell-attend-gop-debate-whether-or-not-trump-shows-up\">\u2018I\u2019ll Be There\u2019: DeSantis Says He\u2019ll \u2063Attend GOP Debate Whether Or Not Trump\u200d Shows Up<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis believes that former President Trump should participate in the GOP primary debates, stating that he owes it to the voters to present his arguments.
