Will Ron DeSantis Fail to Qualify for GOP Primary Debates?

WLTR reported Sunday that former vice president Mike Pence may fail to qualify for the GOP presidential primary debates for failing to eclipse the 40,000 donor threshold.

According to investigative journalist Laura Loomer, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may encounter the same issue to qualify for the debate stage.

“The RNC said in order to debate in their first debate on August 23, candidates running for President are required to have a minimum of 40,000 donors,” Loomer noted.

“However, I was looking at the FEC reports that just came out and Ron DeSantis only has 16,841 filtered results that show up on his report for individual donations,” she continued.

“It doesn’t look like he’s going to qualify to debate…I don’t see anyone else talking about this. Is the GOP Chairwoman going to overlook the fact that DeSantis didn’t meet the requirements? Ron DeSantis shouldn’t be allowed to debate on August 23, according to these FEC documents that only show 16,841 individual campaign donations,” Loomer wrote Monday morning.

“Donations under $200 don’t show up on reports, but one look at Ron’s campaign finance report shows his average donation is $1200. Meanwhile, Donald Trump raised $35 MILLION and his average donation is $34,” Loomer wrote.

“We need to know how many unitemized donations he received,” she added.

We need to know how many unitemized donations he received…

Can’t be many…

“FEC records show DeSantis is raising a lot of money from a small pool of globalist elite donors. DeSantis’ fundraising stats are just another item proving that the Florida Governor has very little support from actual GOP voters,” National File reports.

Loomer exposed Ron DeSantis does not have enough donors to qualify for the first debate. DeSantis has raised millions off of globalist elite donors, but GOP voters have no interest in supporting him. It’s cheating if Fox allows DeSantis to debate. https://t.co/lBKQJHhaNw

From National File:

Fox News is hosting the first RNC debate on August 23rd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee is also hosting the RNC Convention in 2024.

Ever since Tucker’s departure from Fox, the network has become compared to a pro-DeSantis media Super PAC. If 45th President Trump had failed to secure the donation requirements, Fox News would likely be screaming on all their shows that Trump should not be allowed to debate.

Unsurprisingly, the network has remained silent on DeSantis’ failure to obtain the required number of donors.

DeSantis has raised millions despite the fact that he only has 16,000 donors, indicating that the Florida Governor is raking in millions of dollars from globalist elites and showing the disturbing fact that America’s elite are attempting to crush the will of the American people.

DeSantis’s campaign continues to implode and he’s slipping into third place in primary polls.

Multiple reports have revealed the DeSantis campaign has fired over a dozen staffers as the campaign is in danger of falling into third place in the polls.

Most of the staffers were mid-level employees and were cut to “ keep down the costs.”
