Ramaswamy Rally Roars: “RNC, Reduce the GOP Presidential Candidates on the Debate Stage!

As the Republican National Committee (RNC) continues to carve its way through the 2020 presidential election, the Ramaswamy campaign has recently made a request to cut down the number of GOP candidates on the debate stage. The RNC has already enforced strict criteria for the upcoming Republican presidential primary debates, and candidates must polls at 5% of either national or early-state surveys in order to secure a seat. Leading the charge on this proposed debate trimming is R. Ramaswamy, a long-time member of the Republican party who is vying to be its presidential nominee. Ramaswamy has made a point of his campaign to cut down the number of GOP hopefuls from the lengthy list of 18 who have thrown their hats into the ring. Ramaswamy has argued that squeezing in all of these candidates, many of whom have little chance of securing the nomination, is unfair to those who are actually competing for it. He believes that limiting the field to 10 or fewer candidates would make for a more quality and engaging debate and provide voters with better insight into those vying for the GOP nomination. By narrowing the field, this would also cut down on the amount of time each candidate gets to speak, ensuring that the highest polling contenders get the lion’s share of the face time. This could also potentially entice more attendance from everyday people looking to become better informed on GOP candidates. Ramaswamy’s campaign has been met with a mixed response from the RNC. While many democrats have come out in support of the proposed debate trimming, especially given Ramaswamy’s long-standing history within the party, the RNC is wary of culling the field too early — as there is still a long road ahead of the primary season. Ultimately, the RNC will have to decide for themselves if they wish to heed the call of Ramaswamy’s campaign and limit the number of candidates for the next debate stage. Until then, they will be attempting to balance the interests of both seasoned politicos and everyday voters alike.
