North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum appears to have qualified for the upcoming Republican primary debate on Wednesday, according to an analysis by NBC News. This comes after a memo was released from the presidential campaign of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which criticized former President Donald Trump and dismissed other GOP rivals.
The RNC is the final arbiter on who qualifies for the debates, and Burgum has been on the outside looking in with less than a week to go before the deadline. However, recent polling has secured him a spot on the stage, pending approval from the Republican National Committee.
The memo from DeSantis’ campaign encourages donors and supporters to “help echo the governor’s message” on social media throughout the debate. It also comes as the latest campaign finance quarter ends on September 30th.
The primary race has been a competitive one, with many candidates vying for the nomination. While the memo does not name specific opponents, it says the “fundamentals” of the primary race “have not changed.”
The RNC is expected to release its list of qualified participants ahead of Wednesday’s debate. Until then, it remains to be seen who will be on the stage and who will be left out.
