Donald Trump has confirmed that he will not take part in Republican presidential debates with his rivals in the race for the White House. The ex-president, 77, said one latest poll showed he had “legendary” numbers ahead of other hopefuls to be the party’s nominee for the 2024 election. “The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had,” Trump, wrote in a post on social media. The US broadcaster’s poll showed Trump leading the field at 62%, far ahead of his nearest challenger Mr DeSantis, who sat at 16%. In recent months, Trump had repeatedly suggested that he would not join the Republican debates.
