Stuart Varney, originally from \u200dthe United Kingdom, has an impressive 45-year career in the television industry. He was one of Fox Business&#8217; original anchors when the channel first launched in 2007. On the other hand, Dana Perino served as the White House press secretary for former President George \u2064W. Bush. She is also a co-host of &#8220;The Five,&#8221; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/moderators-for-the-second-republican-primary-debate-unveiled\/\" title=\"Moderators announced for Second GOP Debate\">popular weekday political talk show<\/a> that consistently\u2062 dominates \u2062its time slot in cable news.<\/p>\n<p>Joining them is Ilia Calder\u00f3n, who began her journalism career\u200b as a local anchor in Colombia. She is\u2062 currently\u2063 the co-anchor\u2062 of Noticiero Univision, the highest-rated Spanish-language network newscast in the United \u200dStates.<\/p>\n<p>Univision&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/flashback-former-ag-barr-initiated-spying-program-on-americans-back-in-1992\/\" title=\"FLASHBACK: Former AG Barr Initiated Spying Program on Americans Back in 1992\">executive vice president<\/a>, Maria Martinez-Guzman, expressed their commitment\u2064 to providing fair and balanced information to the U.S. Hispanic\u2063 community. &#8220;As the No. 1 source of news for the U.S. Hispanic community, Noticias \u2063Univision\u2019s\u200d participation as co-host of the second 2023 Republican primary debate reflects the journalistic mission of Televisa\u200c Univision&#8217;s news division,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n<h3>Who&#8217;s \u200dQualified for\u200d the Second Debate So Far?<\/h3>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s talk about the candidates who have qualified for the second debate. To secure a spot on the stage, a Republican primary contender must have at least \u200b50,000 unique donors, with a minimum of 200\u200d donors\u2063 from 20 different states. Additionally, they must poll at least 3 percent in two national polls or one national poll along with \u200ctwo early\u2062 state polls from Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, or South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Former Vice President Pence recently met both the\u2062 donation and polling thresholds, joining \u200dother qualified candidates such as Florida\u200c Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Carolina Sen. Tim \u2062Scott, former\u2063 South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, \u200cand biotech entrepreneur\u200b Vivek Ramaswamy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that South Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and former Arkansas Gov. \u2064Asa Hutchinson only qualified for the first primary debate. The requirements for the first \u2064debate were slightly\u2064 less demanding, with\u2063 candidates needing 40,000 unique donors and polling at least 1 percent\u200b in three national polls or a combination of 1 percent in two national polls and two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-lead-expands-over-desantis-in-key-primary-state-poll\/\" title=\"Trump's lead over DeSantis widens in crucial primary state: Poll.\">early state polls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, former \u200bMiami Mayor Francis \u200bSuarez and former \u200bTexas Rep.\u2064 Will Hurd did not make it to the first debate. As for former President Donald Trump, he was absent from the first debate and \u2064is expected to skip the second one as well. In a post on Truth Social,\u2062 he stated, &#8220;The public knows who I am &#038; what a successful Presidency I had. I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President Trump also referenced how Ronald \u2062Reagan, in 1980, chose not to attend\u200c a\u200b primary debate in Iowa as a frontrunner. Despite this, Reagan went \u2062on to secure the Republican presidential nomination and win the White House\u200d in a \u200blandslide victory against Democrat incumbent Jimmy Carter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Reagan didn&#8217;t do it, and neither did others,&#8221; President Trump wrote.\u200c &#8220;People <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuart Varney, Dana Perino, and Ilia Calder\u00f3n will co-moderate the second GOP primary debate on Sept. 27 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
