COLUMBIA, S.C—Minus former President Donald Trump, 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls will take the stage in Milwaukee on Aug. 23 for the party’s first primary debate. Around 900 miles away, after speaking at a town hall in Richmond, Virginia, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be watching.
President Trump has said he will not participate in the Republican party’s first 2024 presidential debate. Mr. Kennedy, who has challenged President Joe Biden to a debate, disagrees with Mr. Trump’s decision.
