Fox News Debates Policy
- No-entry policy announced for Fox News’ first GOP primary debate.
- The policy applies to all team members representing candidates not present on the debate stage, including former President Donald Trump’s representatives.
- This decision came after Trump declined participation in the debate.
Notable Figures Affected
- Donald Trump Jr. was planning to attend the debate representing his father.
- Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump Jr.’s fiancée, was rumored to manage media relations for Trump.
- Other Trump supporters, including ex-gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, and Republican Representatives Byron Donalds and Matt Gaetz of Florida, were preparing to participate, as reported by CNN’s Alayna Treene.
Trump’s Team Reaction
- Despite the ban, Trump’s team is still pursuing opportunities to be involved.
- They are working with Fox News and the Republican National Committee on possible post-debate presence in the media hub or “spin room.”
- Trump himself has publicly expressed disinterest in the initial GOP debate, citing his high poll ratings as the reason.
