RNC Floats New Criteria for First Presidential Debate
The Republican National Committee has floated a plan to multiple presidential campaigns of only allowing on the debate stage candidates polling at 1% or higher and with at least 40,000 donors, sources tell @TIME

If the debate were held now, the candidates who would clear the 1% threshold would include Trump, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, and entrepreneur and author Vivek Ramaswamy, according to RealClearPolitics’ latest polling averages. So too would Pence, DeSantis, Christie, Sununu, and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, if they were candidates. Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who formally launched his campaign last month, is polling at 0.9%.

Hearing Ramaswamy go on about raising the voting age to 25 would be fucking something. As would Trump trying to say his name.
