2024 GOP presidential candidate Larry Elder is pledging to take legal action after he failed to make the stage for the first RNC debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this week.
Elder shared the news on X:
“The RNC Committee on Debates meets in Milwaukee today. Are they even aware their leaders are keeping voices off the stage that qualified? I’m calling for a discussion and a vote of the full committee on the rigged polling criteria set by the anti-conservative, anti-Trump RNC establishment.”

From Newsmax:
In his statement, Elder, a conservative commentator and radio talk show host, asserted “little did we know just how rigged it is” — saying he was disqualified over his submission of polling by conservative Rasmussen Reports.
“Only after receiving our completed qualification package did the RNC inform us that they were not accepting Rasmussen Polls as qualifying toward the debate,” Elder stated.
“The reason, as stated by the RNC, is that Rasmussen Polls have ties to former President Donald Trump — an individual who is not even participating in the upcoming debate,” he said.
“Had the RNC notified the other campaigns that this was a problem, the Elder campaign could have made an effort to identify other qualifying polls,” the statement charged. “Yet, we were not given the opportunity even though the RNC clearly was aware of their poll problem.”
Elder said, however, “I will fight to be on that Debate stage because I fully met all of the requirements to do so.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson are confirmed to have cleared the polling, donor and pledging requirements to debate.
