Trump Ditches GOP Debate for Exclusive Tucker Carlson Interview

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to skip the first Republican presidential debate and is considering doing an interview with Tucker Carlson instead. While no final decision has been made, sources indicate that Trump may opt for the interview over attending the debate. The Republican National Committee has stated that it needs two days' notice for Trump's final decision. Trump had met the donor and polling threshold for the debate but publicly stated that he would not sign the RNC pledge, which is a requirement to be on the debate stage. Trump's campaign spokesperson has not confirmed anything yet.
