Will former President Donald Trump be attending the next RNC debate in Alabama in December?
The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced recently it had selected NewsNation, "The Megyn Kelly Show" on SiriusXM, the Washington Free Beacon and Rumble as partners for the fourth Republican presidential primary debate, which will take place in Tuscaloosa on December 6.
With a sizable lead in the polls despite not attending any of the previous debates this cycle, it's not likely he'll be on stage. Comments from the Trump campaign and Trump himself in recent weeks haven't mentioned any change in strategy.
President Trump on Truth Social calls on the RNC to end any further primary debates to save money and focus on beating the Democrats in the general:

However, unnamed sources have recently told TMZ and The Daily Mail that Secret Service agents have been spotted checking out the debate venue at the University of Alabama's Frank Moody Music Building.
"Donald Trump is the only candidate who has Secret Service, and we were told that the Secret Service did a sweep of the debate space in Alabama," an unnamed source told The Daily Mail.
Trump is the only Republican presidential candidate with Secret Service protection.
Other candidates likely to be in Tuscaloosa for the debate include former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former UN Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
