Former President Donald Trump will be headlining a closed-door fundraiser in Florida while his Republican primary rivals participate in the upcoming debate. Trump has chosen to skip previous debates, citing his lead in polls. However, his decision not to schedule a public event during the debate marks a change in strategy. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has seen a surge in support, threatening Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' position as the runner-up to Trump. The debate will feature only a few candidates as the Republican National Committee has increased the participation threshold. Trump and his campaign have called for the cancellation of future debates to focus on supporting him against President Joe Biden.
