It\u2019s, if \u2064they get invited to \u200cthe debate, first of all, the RNC\u200b handles all the tickets. If they\u2063 are \u200can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/is-the-democrats-election-heist-too-big-to-fail\/\" title=\"Is the Democrats\u2019 Election Heist \u2018Too Big to Fail\u2019?\">elected official<\/a>, they get a ticket no matter what.\u2062 If they are a surrogate and they get invited, they get to go. As\u2063 far as in the spin room, it is the candidates on the stage\u200c and their delegates. And then if any media organization who\u2019s in the spin room invites one of\u2063 these surrogates, a Trump \u200bsurrogate, they are welcome to come.
