Donald Trump’s decision to skip the second Republican debate is hardly a surprise. After all, he’s practically guaranteed to be the Republican nominee for the 2024 election. The only potential challenger who could pose a threat to Trump is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, but the polls suggest that such an upset is highly unlikely. The other candidates running are simply hoping to secure a spot in a future presidential administration. Let’s face it, this debate is nothing more than a pointless sideshow. None of these so-called GOP candidates stand a chance in hell of winning the nomination.
Here's Trump's Plan for the Second Republican Debate https://t.co/3TVnf9pINY

There are valid arguments in support of Trump’s decision to skip the debate. He’s way ahead in the polls, so why bother? There’s always the risk of a major blunder that could jeopardize his frontrunner status. However, Trump is not like other politicians. He can hold his own in debates, as he did in 2016 when the GOP field was much more competitive. Some may criticize the idea of a coronation, but let’s be real, this race is over. The former president has opted to speak to the autoworkers in Detroit who are currently on strike. It’s a smart move, as he can reach a key voting bloc in a critical battleground state.
Of course, the Biden camp just can’t resist attacking Trump. They claim he’s going to Michigan to lie to the workers, but that’s rich coming from Joe Biden, the king of lies. It’s Biden’s own policies, like his obsession with electric vehicle production, that contributed to the failed negotiations. The workers wanted pay raises from the Big Three’s profits, while the automakers wanted to invest in electric vehicle development. It’s clear that Biden and the Democrats no longer have the support of the working class. They’re more interested in pandering to their base of wealthy elites. So, they can save their hypocritical statements for someone who cares.
