@JosephNoonan Here's the version for the next debate. I've narrowed the range of options since I highly doubt any of the six non-Trump candidates who've qualified already will skip it, and it seems unlikely that more people will show up to the second debate than the first.

8 candidates qualify for first 2024 Republican presidential debate | CNN Politics

Eight Republicans have qualified for the party’s first 2024 presidential primary debate Wednesday night, the Republican National Committee announced Monday evening.

They are sending tickets but won’t say who will/wont qualify before the debate. That is kind of weird.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez claims he's qualified for GOP presidential debate, but RNC can't confirm

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez claims he’s qualified for next week’s Republican opening presidential debate.

@parhizj Makes this market more interesting, though

Don't think Trump will attend, if Suarez makes it (according to his campaign) and Chris Christie and Pence sign the pledge then that will be 8. It's also possible someone else will qualify like Hurd or Hutchinson end up qualifying:

I think this is what it will be though (+- 1 candidate):

• Ron DeSantis

• Nikki Haley

• Tim Scott

• Vivek Ramaswamy

• Chris Christie

• Doug Burgum

• Mike Pence

• Francis Suarez

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez qualifies for first Republican debate, super PAC says

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has qualified to participate in the first Republican National Committee primary debate next week for the GOP presidential nomination.

Christie and Pence have signed the pledge.

Trump confirmed on social media he won't attend the debate.

Edited:
According to Politico, Perry Johnson also will qualify:

• Ron DeSantis

• Nikki Haley

• Tim Scott

• Vivek Ramaswamy

• Chris Christie

• Doug Burgum

• Mike Pence

• Perry Johnson

• Francis Suarez (?)

• Asa Hutchinson (?)

So, maybe 8-10 depending on Suarez and Hutchinson qualifying. Don't know if Hutchinson's claims that he qualifies are correct.

RNC is expected to announce today who will be on the stage.

Asa Hutchinson says he has qualified for GOP debate

"I'm pleased to announce that we have met all the criteria," he said.
