The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced that eight GOP presidential candidates have officially qualified for the first primary debate slated for Wednesday evening in Milwaukee.

To qualify for the debate, candidates needed to meet polling and donor requirements set by the RNC, as well as sign a loyalty pledge vowing that they will support the eventual Republican nominee in 2024. The RNC said eight candidates met all three requirements as of Monday night, notably excluding former President Trump.

Those who qualified are Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, conservative entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
