This is just pathetic: Seven candidates have qualified for the August Republican presidential primary debate. Six of them are not Donald Trump—and Mike Pence is not one of those six.
Some Dude Vivek Ramaswamy has qualified for the debate—and is polling ahead of Pence. Doug Burgum, governor of the fourth least populous U.S. state, has qualified for the debate. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is in the race expressly to troll Trump, has qualified. Former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott join them on the list, as do, of course, Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump probably won’t even bother to show up.
But Mike Pence, the former vice president of the United States, has not qualified for this debate. Again: This is pathetic.
