Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson has qualified for the first Republican primary debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday, while former President Donald Trump has confirmed he will be skipping the debate. Trump's campaign has also reached the minimum threshold of 40,000 unique donors to qualify for the debate, and he is expected to sign the party's pledge to support its eventual nominee. Hutchinson has thanked the tens of thousands of supporters who have contributed to his campaign and helped him qualify for the debate.
