Trump Calls for Cancellation of Future Republican Debates Amid Legal Woes and Party Concerns

Donald Trump's campaign is urging the Republican National Committee (RNC) to cancel all remaining presidential primary debates, claiming that the RNC should focus on defeating Joe Biden instead. Trump's advisers repeated debunked claims of election fraud and argued that canceling the debates would show a lack of concern for voter integrity. Trump, who has skipped the first two debates and stated he won't participate in future ones, is currently in court for a civil fraud trial. The RNC has not responded to the campaign's request. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rejected the call to cancel debates, stating that the country needs a president who will fight for them in any forum.
