Donald Trump's campaign is calling on the Republican National Committee (RNC) to cancel all remaining presidential primary debates and instead focus on defeating Joe Biden in the next year's election. The campaign also repeated baseless claims of election fraud, alleging without evidence that Democrats are working to steal the 2024 election. Despite multiple legal cases, investigations, and his own attorney general finding no fraud, Trump has maintained that the 2020 election was stolen.

Senior campaign advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita argued that canceling the November debate in Miami and all future debates is necessary to address concerns about voter integrity. They claimed that anything less would be seen as an admission that the grassroots' concerns are not taken seriously and that national Republicans are more concerned about helping Biden than ensuring a safe and secure election. Trump, the former president and front-runner for the GOP nomination, has already skipped the first two debates, prompting criticism from his rivals. He has stated that he will not participate in future debates.

Currently, Trump is in court for a civil fraud trial in New York, where he is accused of inflating the value of his businesses. He argues that the case is politically motivated. The RNC has not responded to requests for comment, while a spokesperson for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rejected the Trump campaign's call to cancel the debates. The spokesperson emphasized the need for a president who will fight for the country in any forum. During the second debate, DeSantis accused Trump of avoiding defending his record on the national debt.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel declined to address Trump's request to end the debates during a recent call with reporters. She focused instead on the committee's "Bank Your Vote" initiative, which aims to encourage early and mail-in voting among Republicans. Despite Trump's skepticism toward early voting, McDaniel emphasized the importance of following the rules on game day and stated that Trump is fully committed to that notion.

The debate over canceling remaining presidential primary debates reflects the ongoing tensions within the Republican Party regarding election integrity and strategies to defeat Joe Biden in the next election. As the campaign continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these debates and the overall political landscape will shape the future of the GOP.
