Paul Krishnamurty analyses the key factors going into the first Republican TV debate... Eight Republicans line up in Milwaukee Trump's plan to usurp debate coverage Iowa poll offers hope for rivals This is the most important week of the 2024 US Election campaign so far. As we await Donald Trump's arrest in Georgia, two setpiece TV events will focus minds on the race to be Republican Nominee. Fox News host the first TV debate for that contest, but Trump has swerved it in favour of an interview with ex-Fox flamethrower Tucker Carlson. Already recorded, it is assumed the interview will be released to coincide with the debate, thus taking viewers away. Trump remains the ultimate media manipulator. Does this signal a Trump v Murdoch war? Trump is certainly entitled to take this stance, being 40% ahead in the polls with everything to lose, nothing to gain. No sensible strategist would advise giving his rivals the chance to attack. But this spat goes deeper. Trump is referring to Fox as the enemy, accusing them of trying to hurt him with bad pictures. It has long been reported that Rupert Murdoch is sick of Trump and that the network are considering alternatives. This explains why Glenn Youngkin remains competitive in the betting, despite not even entering the race yet. News: Fox News will not allow Trump surrogates/aides into the debate "spin room" unless they are guests of a media organization. Credentials restricted to candidates who participate in the debate, per memo sent to campaigns tonight and obtained by Axios.https://t.co/cmEQVias2S pic.twitter.com/G1f2JtPN9V -- Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) August 22, 2023 If so, the debate could spell bad news for Trump, emphasising his alleged crimes and failures. Power within the right wing media ecosystem has certainly changed during the Trump era, but Murdoch and Fox remain the biggest players. Will Carlson interview upstage Fox? A sign of that was Carlson's willingness to walk away from Fox and do his own thing. He's now effectively a propagandist the Russian state, and far-Right extremists everywhere, pushing their Great Replacement (conspiracy) Theory. Expect Tucker and Trump to share disinformation regarding Ukraine. Whilst both events will be followed by the ultra-engaged, Trump's appearance may well overshadow the debate. If nobody threatens Trump in the polls soon, these events will fade into irrelevance Nevertheless, this does offer a chance for his rivals to break through. To at least advertise their credentials and in the case of his staunchest critics, such as Chris Christie, launch verbal missiles at his former boss. Or, for those in lockstep with Trump's positions - such as Vivek Ramaswamy on Ukraine - a chance to defeat the mainstream Republican position. Will Trump absence affect him? As it stands, Trump is totally dominant. His support appears entrenched and even short odds of 1.47 for the nomination are only inflated by his vast legal peril. However by historical standards, it is still very early in the process. In theory, polls merely reflect goodwill from GOP primary voters towards their former President. As opposed to a considered view on how the party should fight the next election. That poll lead could prove softer than we assume. Indeed, the latest A-rated Selzer poll in Iowa offers plenty of hope for the anti-Trump faction. **New NBC News/Des Moines Register IA GOP Caucus poll**Trump 42%DeSantis 19%Scott 9%Haley 6%Pence 6%Christie 5%Ramaswamy 4%Burgum 2%Hurd 1% -- Steve Kornacki (@SteveKornacki) August 21, 2023 More from our new Des Moines Register/NBC Iowa GOP poll:We gave likely caucus-goers 3 options...&gt;GOP should continue to be led by Trump: 41%&gt;Trump was good president but time to consider others: 26%&gt;GOP needs new leader w/ better personal behavior &amp; different approach: 31% -- Steve Kornacki (@SteveKornacki) August 21, 2023 Stipulating that Trump is the favorite to win the GOP nomination, there does seem to be a potential path for some of his rivals.

Trump is up by 23, but DeSantis actually has the highest favorable rating &amp; Scott has the best fav/unfav ratio... pic.twitter.com/F5By9yyzpz -- Steve Kornacki (@SteveKornacki) August 21, 2023 Also, I wouldn't underestimate the damage done by swerving scrutiny. In 2016, Trump swerved the Iowa debate before their caucus and duly lost there. Likewise, local party officials in Wisconsin opposed to Trump will emphasize this disregard for local scrutiny. Will anyone defend election denial? For my money, this is the critical dynamic. Trump's denial of the 2020 election is at complete odds with overall US opinion. It is a terrible narrative to take into a general election. Merely accommodating that view is risky for Fox News, who have already lost a $787M lawsuit over it. If rivals are going to hurt Trump, this and January 6th offer their best, perhaps only, route. All of his rivals have, at some point, acknowledged the result. Yet, in contrast to the wider electorate, doing so requires taking a position contrary to majority GOP opinion. Thus criticism from most has generally been muted. At the recent The Blaze Summit, only Mike Pence did vociferously. Will Christie attacks catch on? Chris Christie was not at that event, but he is very much leading the attacks. His daily TV interviews have become essential viewing, albeit less so on the networks favoured by Trump's base. Now he has a proper national platform. Chris Christie calls Trump a coward for refusing to debate and encourages GOP voters to realize that "nominating someone who is out on bail in four different jurisdictions is not a winning formula." pic.twitter.com/hI4j3D7Y9Z -- Republican Accountability (@AccountableGOP) August 21, 2023 I asked Chris Christie what he's hoping to accomplish with this upcoming debate that he hasn't so far to this point. He answered simply, "get seen by more people." pic.twitter.com/K8HJyFUpto -- Omar Jimenez (@OmarJimenez) August 21, 2023 Christie is toxic to much of the GOP base and therefore is very unlikely to win this nomination. He is, however, a brilliant spoiler and attack dog. In 2016, his constant sneers and debate stage assault destroyed Marco Rubio going into the New Hampshire primary. Having killed the betting favourite, days later, Christie endorsed Trump. He is sure to create numerous moments perfect for short, viral social media clips. Can DeSantis reset? Since launching his campaign, Ron DeSantis has bombed. His chance of winning the presidency has slipped from 34% to just 4% in less than a year, based on Betfair's exchange odds. Ramaswamy - whom I regard as a spoiler candidate to enable Trump and might very well end up as his running mate - has surpassed him. Nevertheless, polls still indicate DeSantis is the principal alternative. If Trump implodes, he is best-placed to pick up those voters. I think his problems are partly due to pile-ons from Trump media, and presumably the others will go after him on the debate stage. It may finish him but equally, this event offers a chance to reset. *Follow Paul on Twitter and check out his website, Political Gambler.", "image":[ "https://betting.cdnppb.net/politics/Ron DeSantis waves.728x410.jpg", "https://betting.cdnppb.net/politics/Ron DeSantis waves.547x410.jpg", "https://betting.cdnppb.net/politics/Ron DeSantis waves.410x410.jpg" ], "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Betting.Betfair", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://betting.cdnppb.net/assets/img/betfairlogoblack.ea48b4e0.png" }, "url": "https://betting.betfair.com/" }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Paul Krishnamurty", "url": "https://betting.betfair.com/authors/paul_krishnamurty" } } </script> </header> <div class="two_column_layout"> <main class="entry_main"> <div class="entry_img"> <img src="//betting.cdnppb.net/politics/Ron DeSantis waves.728x410.jpg" srcset="//betting.cdnppb.net/politics/Ron DeSantis waves.450x253.jpg 450w, //betting.cdnppb.net/politics/Ron DeSantis waves.600x338.jpg 600w, //betting.cdnppb.net/politics/Ron DeSantis waves.728x410.jpg 728w" alt="Florida Governor Ron DeSantis"> <figcaption class="entry_img__caption">The DeSantis campaign could either implode or be reborn this week</figcaption> </div> <div class="entry_actions"> <div> <a class="button button--dark" href="https://promos.betfair.com/promotion?promoCode=ACQZBGC01B10G30A&prod=90&rfr=2573">Join</a> </div> <div> <a class="button btn--market" data-market_full="https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.178163916" href="https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.178163916">View market</a> </div> <div class="entry_actions__social entry_actions__social--twitter"> <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet/?text=US%20Election%20Odds%20and%20Analysis%3A%20Six%20points%20to%20watch%20in%20the%20first%20Republican%20TV%20debate&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbetting.betfair.com%2Fpolitics%2Fus-politics%2Fus-election-odds-and-analysis-six-points-to-watch-in-the-first-republican-tv-debate-220823-171.html" target="_blank" title="Twitter"><span class="sprite_icon sprite_icon--twitter">Twitter</span></a> </div> <div class="entry_actions__social entry_actions__social--facebook"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbetting.betfair.com%2Fpolitics%2Fus-politics%2Fus-election-odds-and-analysis-six-points-to-watch-in-the-first-republican-tv-debate-220823-171.html" target="_blank" title="Facebook"><span class="sprite_icon sprite_icon--facebook">Facebook</span></a> </div> <div class="entry_actions__social entry_actions__social--reddit"> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/submit/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbetting.betfair.com%2Fpolitics%2Fus-politics%2Fus-election-odds-and-analysis-six-points-to-watch-in-the-first-republican-tv-debate-220823-171.html" target="_blank" title="Reddit"><span class="sprite_icon sprite_icon--reddit">Reddit</span></a> </div> <div class="entry_actions__social entry_actions__social--whatsapp"> <a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https%3A%2F%2Fbetting.betfair.com%2Fpolitics%2Fus-politics%2Fus-election-odds-and-analysis-six-points-to-watch-in-the-first-republican-tv-debate-220823-171.html" target="_blank" title="WhatsApp"><span class="sprite_icon sprite_icon--whatsapp">WhatsApp</span></a> </div> <div class="entry_actions__social entry_actions__social--telegram"> <a href="https://t.me/share/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbetting.betfair.com%2Fpolitics%2Fus-politics%2Fus-election-odds-and-analysis-six-points-to-watch-in-the-first-republican-tv-debate-220823-171.html&text=US%20Election%20Odds%20and%20Analysis%3A%20Six%20points%20to%20watch%20in%20the%20first%20Republican%20TV%20debate" target="_blank" title="Telegram"><span class="sprite_icon sprite_icon--telegram">Telegram</span></a> </div> <div> <a class="button button--dark" href="#betslip">View the Betslip</a> </div> </div> <div class="entry_body has-odds"> <div class="entry_body__intro"><p>Wednesday is a key day in the US Election campaign calendar.

Now he has a proper national platform.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chris Christie calls Trump a coward for refusing to debate and encourages GOP voters to realize that "nominating someone who is out on bail in four different jurisdictions is not a winning formula." <a href="https://t.co/hI4j3D7Y9Z">pic.twitter.com/hI4j3D7Y9Z</a></p> -- Republican Accountability (@AccountableGOP) <a href="https://twitter.com/AccountableGOP/status/1693660873540223097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 21, 2023</a></blockquote><p> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr">I asked Chris Christie what he's hoping to accomplish with this upcoming debate that he hasn't so far to this point. He answered simply, "get seen by more people." <a href="https://t.co/K8HJyFUpto">pic.twitter.com/K8HJyFUpto</a></p> -- Omar Jimenez (@OmarJimenez) <a href="https://twitter.com/OmarJimenez/status/1693678041522749767?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 21, 2023</a></blockquote><p> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </p><p>Christie is toxic to much of the GOP base and therefore is very unlikely to win this nomination. He is, however, a brilliant spoiler and attack dog. In 2016, his constant sneers and debate stage assault destroyed Marco Rubio going into the New Hampshire primary. Having killed the betting favourite, days later, Christie endorsed Trump. He is sure to create numerous moments perfect for short, viral social media clips.</p><h2>Can DeSantis reset?</h2><p></p><p>Since launching his campaign, Ron DeSantis has bombed. His chance of winning the presidency has slipped from 34% to just 4% in less than a year, based on Betfair's exchange odds. Ramaswamy - whom I regard as a spoiler candidate to enable Trump and might very well end up as his running mate - has surpassed him.</p><p>Nevertheless, polls still indicate DeSantis is the principal alternative. If Trump implodes, he is best-placed to pick up those voters. I think his problems are partly due to pile-ons from Trump media, and presumably the others will go after him on the debate stage. It may finish him but equally, this event offers a chance to reset.</p><hr><p><strong>*Follow Paul <a href="https://twitter.com/paulmotty?lang=en-gb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on Twitter</a> and
