GOP voters: Cancel the 2024 debates
October 25, 2023 11:40 AM
With former President Donald Trump consistently leading the 2024 nominating process, most Republican voters are in agreement that the party should cancel the debates and move on with targeting President Joe Biden.
On the heels of several calls to end the Trump-less debates, a new survey found that a majority in the party also want to go in that direction.
BIDENOMICS IS GOING BELLY-UP WHERE IT MATTERS MOST
The latest Rasmussen Reports poll said that 52% of Republicans want the shouting fests canceled. Among all likely voters, 40% want them stopped.
The decision is likely influenced by Trump’s decision to boycott the debates so far because he leads the field by 30 points or more.
Trump ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told Secrets this week, “I think you can see he’s winning the primary so handily that the primary, in many people’s minds, is over. No, there’s no alternative. And I think the American people see it that way.”

The debates so far have not greatly influenced or changed the GOP 2024 lineup in national or state polls. In the latest series of national polls, Trump is leading with 49% or better.
Despite his confidence of winning without debating, however, a majority of Republicans, 55%, would like to see him participate.
