And to my longtime followers, this means the return of something big ... ~*~the spreadsheet ~*~ is back! We have big plans at @politico for debate tracking, but for now, old reliable returns docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

The FIRST Republican presidential primary debate qualifying poll is here! This MoCo poll counts, the RNC confirmed to @POLITICO_Steve and me, giving eight candidates their first qualifier — including two big Trump critics. More from me and Steve politico.com/news/2023/07/12…
8% of potential Republican primary voters would vote for Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy if the 2024 presidential nominating contest were held in their state today, overtaking former Vice President Mike Pence for third place. View more insights: morningconsult.biz/3OYzNlB

Setting polling criteria for debate qualification isn't necessarily easy. But a strict interpretation of >=800 likely voters would be a tough threshold. I'm seeing 7 qualifying polls since Jan. 1! 4 of them from Trafalgar. gop.com/press-release/rnc-an…

The RNC announces the requirements for the first primary debate on August 23 and says "should enough candidates qualify to make it necessary, there will be a second debate on August 24."

More from the newsletter: Several news organizations including the New York Times and Politico opted against partnering with the RNC to host a GOP presidential debate over fears about cost and brand concerns. semafor.com/newsletter/05/21…

Context: For the first 2 debates in 2019, Democrats required candidates to poll at least 1% in 3 qualifying polls, *OR* have at least 65k donors. It wasn't until the 3rd debate that candidates had to meet both criteria (at that point, 2% in 4 qualifying polls + 130k donors).
Scoop: The RNC is still finalizing the criteria presidential candidates will have to meet to make the first debate stage in August. But the buzz is around two numbers: a 1% polling threshold and a 40,000 donor requirement. time.com/6278284/republican-…

If I can relive my 2020 debate nerdiness for a moment: The ~and~ part would be interesting. For the first round of DNC debates last cycle, it was a polling OR donor threshold for early debates, not both. GOP also isn't facing nearly as big of a field as Dems then

Not sure yet what's happening to me, but I'm heartbroken regardless. You guys see how smart the 538 staff is on a daily basis, but what you don't see is what incredibly good & kind people they are. It's been the pleasure of a lifetime to work with them.

Disney layoffs have substantially impacted FiveThirtyEight. I am sad and disappointed to a degree that’s kind of hard to express right now. We’ve been at Disney almost 10 years. My contract is up soon and I expect that I’ll be leaving at the end of it.

Most interesting part of this — media partners are YAF and Rumble. Part of long-term RNC goal of making trad media less relevant in party debates. (See also RNC pulling out of CPD debates after 2020.)

Said it once. I’ll say it again & again. Polls of 2024 GOP primary mean nothing until we have debates. The Aug. ‘15 debate had 24M viewers. This will be as big or bigger. GOP voters will see for themselves if DeSantis has glass jaw or effective punch.
