Trump Makes It 3 In A Row As He Decides To Skip Third Consecutive GOP Debate, Focus Shifts To Courting Detroit Auto Workers; Seeks Support Despite Leading Polls By Wide Margin
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Former President Donald Trump plans to skip the second and third Republican primary debates, focusing instead on supporting the UAW strikes against General Motors Co (GM), Ford Motor Co (F), and Stellantis NV (STLA) in Detroit. The second debate will air on Fox Business, a unit of Fox Corporation (FOX, FOXA), and stream on Rumble Inc (RUM). Trump's decision is based on his sizable lead in most national polls, seeing no benefit in participating in the debates.
