Any word on the fly? Will they be joining as well?
God I hope so.
I think they could have workshopped the headline a bit. How about:
Key witness wins chance to confront defendant out of court
or
Former Vice President to debate man who tried to have him killed on television
Former doormat given rare opportunity to prove on live TV that he is still, in fact a doormat
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former Vice President Mike Pence has reached the donor threshold to qualify for the first GOP presidential debate later this month in Milwaukee, an aide told CNN on Monday.
As CNN has reported, seven other candidates have met the polling threshold and say they’ve also reached the fundraising requirements for the August debate: Former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov.
While some candidates offered gift cards or a percentage of the money raised to appeal for donations, Pence and his team relied on direct mail and asking for just $1.
Trump, the current front-runner who was federally indicted in the special counsel’s 2020 election interference probe last week, has not yet committed to participating in the debate.
He has called for cuts to government spending, the tax cuts enacted under the Trump administration to be made permanent, increased military spending and domestic energy production, and continued US support for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.
Pence received more than 7,200 donations last Wednesday, the day after Trump was indicted on federal charges, according to his campaign.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This is wild to me. The previous VP was in danger of not making the first debate. Really shows how little space there is for Mike in this field.
They chanted “Hang Mike Pence” while invading the capitol. I am surprised he made the stage to begin with. Wondering if anyone bothers attacking him or just lets him be.
If there is a crowd he may get boo’d into oblivion
Given that members of his own party tried to lynch him, I’m not surprised.
