Tim Scott, all met the RNC’s criteria for qualification.

RNC chair Ronna McDaniel said in a statement that the debate will be a “welcome opportunity for our candidates to showcase our winning conservative agenda to the American people.” The RNC required candidates to have at least 4% polling support in two national polls or one national and one early-state poll, as well as 70,000 unique donors.
