0:45Now PlayingMike Pence has qualified for the first Republican presidential debate, avoiding the embarrassing scenario of a former vice president failing to make the cut.
Pence acquired the 40,000 donors he needed to get on the stage on August 23 in Milwaukee, his campaign announced Tuesday. He also meets the polling thresholds.
Failing to make the debate stage, despite high name recognition and decades in public office, threatened to be a death knell for Pence’s campaign. He has been languishing in the polls, with only 5.1% support — fourth place in the GOP race — according to a RealClearPolitics polling average.
The debate will provide the candidates a chance to distinguish themselves from the field, but possibly not the frontrunner. Former President Donald Trump, who leads in polls by wide margins, has threatened not to appear.
