The second Republican presidential primary debate of the 2024 election cycle is nearly two weeks away, and seven candidates, as of now, have secured a spot on the stage.

The debate, which will be hosted by Fox Business and Univision, is slated to take place on Sept. 27 from 9 to 11 p.m. ET in Simi Valley, California.

Unlike the requirements outlined by the Republican National Committee (RNC) to participate in last month's debate, there are stronger thresholds in place that Republican candidates are required to meet before they can earn a spot on the stage in California.

To participate in the second debate, each candidate must have a minimum of 50,000 unique donors to their campaign or exploratory committee, including 200 donors in 20 or more states. The candidates must also reach 3% support in two national polls or reach 3% in one national poll and 3% in two polls conducted in different early nominating states like Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina.

Additionally, candidates are also required to sign a pledge in which they agree to support the eventual Republican presidential nominee; agree not to participate in any non-RNC-sanctioned debates for the rest of the 2024 election cycle; and agree to data-sharing with the national party committee. The deadline to meet qualifications is 48 hours before the debate begins.

The candidates who have met all the requirements (fundraising, polling and pledge), with polling and fundraising thresholds verified by the RNC, include:

  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
  • Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy
  • Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley
  • Former Vice President Mike Pence
  • South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott
  • Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
  • North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum

The only candidate to meet the RNC's polling and fundraising requirements and not sign the pledge is former President Donald Trump, who skipped out on the Aug. 23 debate in Milwaukee.

It is unclear whether Trump, the commanding front-runner in the GOP race for president, will sign the pledge and attend the second debate in California or any RNC-sanctioned debate in the future for that matter.
