While this move\u200c may seem risky,\u2064 Trump\u200b is confident that his absence will only highlight his\u200b dominance in \u2064the field.<\/p>\n<p>By\u200d not participating in the debate, Trump hopes \u2063to overshadow his opponents and solidify his frontrunner status. He believes that without \u2062his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cbs-smears-ron-desantis-while-pete-buttigieg-gets-the-obama-treatment-from-ap\/\" title=\"CBS Smears Ron DeSantis While Pete Buttigieg Gets the Obama Treatment from AP\">star power<\/a>, the other candidates\u200d will pale in comparison, turning the\u200b debate into \u2063an \u2063undercard event for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/milwaukee-machinations-trumps-big-debate-gamble\/\" title=\"Trump takes a risky gamble with the Milwaukee debate.\">low-polling contenders<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, this decision is \u200dnot \u200dwithout its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/merrick-garland-pledges-to-investigate-prosecute-capitol-rioters\/\" title=\"Merrick Garland Pledges To Investigate, Prosecute Capitol Rioters\">potential pitfalls<\/a>. Trump runs the risk \u200dof\u2062 appearing as though he is\u2064 avoiding the \u2062debate\u2062 or disrespecting Republican voters who want to see him engage in the democratic process. Critics may argue that he is &#8220;chickening out&#8221; and\u200b not prioritizing the good of the party.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Trump&#8217;s absence could provide an opportunity for another candidate to \u2064shine. Governor Ron DeSantis of\u200d Florida, in particular, aims to appeal to the soft Trump \u2062voters who may be looking for an alternative. If DeSantis\u200c or another\u200c candidate gains momentum during \u200dthe debate, it could fracture the non-Trump vote and pose \u200da credible challenge to the frontrunner.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that Trump&#8217;s decision only applies to the first two debates, and he may change his mind in the future. He has a history of alternating between attending and boycotting debates, depending on his strategic calculations.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Trump holds \u2064a significant lead in national polls, with a nearly 41-point advantage \u2064over DeSantis. However, his\u2064 support in key states \u200clike Iowa and\u2063 New Hampshire is below 50%. While he maintains a comfortable lead in those states, his opponents have yet\u200d to pose a serious threat to his hold on soft \u200bTrump \u200cvoters.<\/p>\n<p>If the other candidates want to\u2064 challenge Trump&#8217;s dominance, they will need to seize this opportunity to shine in his absence. \u200cThis could be a make-or-break moment for\u200c the race, potentially reshaping the\u2063 dynamics and making\u2062 it a truly competitive contest.<\/p>\n<p>On\u200c the other\u2062 hand, if\u200b Trump&#8217;s rivals \u2062fail to capitalize on his absence, it \u200dcould signal the beginning of the end for his Republican opponents as\u2063 the race shifts focus to the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell \u200chow this \u2062gamble will \u200dplay out, but one thing is certain: the 2024 GOP primary race just got a lot more interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump is taking a gamble, aiming to shine in debates from a distance.
