Former New Jersey governor and frequent Trump critic Chris Christie said Wednesday evening he has met the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) donor criteria to make the first debate stage.
The RNC set debate requirements in early June that GOP candidates must meet to qualify for the August debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, including a 40,000 unique donor threshold. Christie, who entered the presidential race just days after the RNC announced its rules, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper he has exceeded the donor criteria, surpassing the amount of contributors he garnered during the same time frame when he previously ran in 2016.
