Pence's Lackluster Fundraising Raises Questions on Debate Eligibility

Former Vice President Mike Pence raised only $1.2 million in the second quarter of fundraising for his presidential campaign, raising doubts about his eligibility to participate in the first GOP debate next month. In comparison, former President Donald Trump raised over $35 million during the same period, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis raised $20 million. Pence's lackluster fundraising total falls short of the 40,000 individual donors required to qualify for the debate stage, according to the Republican National Committee's criteria.
