How will Trump's absence affect the first Republican debate?

The first GOP primary debate for the 2024 election is Wednesday. Eight candidates have qualified and will stand on the debate stage in Milwaukee, but the front-runner, former President Donald Trump, will not take part. CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa reports from Wisconsin.

Impeach with Honor/25 Amendment. TRUMP 2024

He had nothing of value to contribute to the debate anyhow

[absolute.freedom]

WWF story lines for adults. And people actually believe this theatre. Smh

[samsalin]

Seeing as more people were interested in watching his interview with tucker, then the debate is pretty telling..

[Brad]

I'll only miss him because it's a comedy show just waiting to see what he says next.

If you only poll people who you want to hear from, you can craft any narrative you want!

[danieldylan]

Well for one thing we will be spared his rambling, whining, begging for money remarks we have become so sick of hearing.

[swisstopia]

The intelligence bar will be a few centimeters higher, but still extremely low.

Please, kind people at SNL, give us a parody skit where Tex Watson, Sandra Good, Patricia Krenwinkel, Clem Grogan, Bobby Beausoleil, and Squeaky Fromme debate who should lead the Manson Family instead of Manson.

To avoid jail, some co-defendants will talk, turn on each other and give Trump up. 🍿🙂

they all get a chance to speak..and wont be spoken over.

He'll gain even more lemmings... duh.

Everyone will be watching him on Tucker, so his absence of fox wont be missed . 😂

It will be an improvement. Now the American public can examine each candidate without all of the distractions that Trump brings.

[Pilotpaulie]

The nomination is his if he wants it. What’s the difference? Biden sure won’t be debating any of his rivals. We all know both these two are too old. We need younger representation.

[johntaylor]

djt went bankrupt in 6 businesses! 6 trillion US debt in 4 years. I will stick with BADASS BRANDON!

[Ptubert]

Trump the clear debate WINNER ... Awesome..

[chrisjames]

It'll be worth tuning in to watch Meatball Ron squirm. You know they're gonna go after him.

[ottofabalucci]

LOL. Debate between the losers. 230 million views for Trump on Carlson. That ought to tell you everything you need to know.

[davidbakke]

It will be less interesting, for sure
