<p>Miami Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/miami-mayor-francis-suarez-announces-gop-presidential-bid-despite-support-for-left-wing-positions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Francis Suarez</a> admitted on Friday night that his campaign has not qualified for the first Republican presidential debate, despite claiming hours earlier that he had met &#8220;all&#8221; the requirements to get on the stage.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am excited to announce that I have met all of the criteria to qualify for the @GOP ’s first primary debate,&#8221; Suarez said early on Friday.</p>
<p>However, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/01/us/elections/republican-debate-qualifications.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Suarez has not yet qualified for the debate because he does not meet the polling requirements. The RealClearPolitics average, which is not included in the RNC&#8217;s requirements, shows Suarez is only at .3% nationally.</p>
<p>Several hours after his post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Suarez admitted during a CNN interview that he had not qualified for the debate.</p>
<p>Suarez said that the RNC has not yet certified the number of donors that he says he has and he still has not met the polling requirements. He cited a poll from <span style="font-size: 16px;">Kaplan Strategies that shows him at 2% nationally, although he noted that the RNC has not yet certified the poll.</span></p>
<p>CNN host Kaitlan Collins noted that Suarez still needs multiple additional polls showing him over the 1% threshold to get on the debate stage.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, but you haven&#8217;t actually gotten that number yet, to where the RNC says, &#8216;Yes, you&#8217;ve made it?'&#8221; Collins <a href="https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1692729068536340977?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, they have not yet given me sort of that final certification,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692551179799000&amp;usg=AOvVaw149wVUFucE7CWxRq9-A4I-">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>He said that he hopes that additional polls will come out over the weekend that will qualify him for the debate.</p>
<p>The Associated Press later <a href="https://twitter.com/sppeoples/status/1692568610625958244" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that senior officials at the RNC said that Suarez has not qualified for the debate.</p>
<p>Suarez later said that he agreed with prior remarks that he made that any candidate who did not make the debate stage should drop out — including himself.</p>
