Donald Trump, yet his impact continues to resonate both on and off the debate stage. As candidates prepare to engage in discussions and showcase their policies, the shadow of Trump's influence looms over the event. Trump is rather open for an interview with Tucker Carlson, who hosts a program on X, formerly Twitter. While the debate will feature eight candidates who met the donor and polling requirements set by the Republican National Committee (RNC), the absence of Donald Trump, a potential contender and influential voice within the party, underscores the evolving dynamics of the GOP landscape. The debate, scheduled for August 23, will include prominent figures such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. However, controversies and last-minute changes have added complexity to the event, highlighting the challenges of assembling a diverse and competitive lineup.

The final lineup for the first Republican presidential primary debate, slated for Aug. 23 in Milwaukee, has been announced. Nine of the twelve candidates have qualified to make the the stage.

Elon Musk on Thursday called entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy a ‘promising candidate’ for the 2024 US presidential election. He responded to a clip of Ramaswamy, shared on X (formerly Twitter), on Tucker Carlson’s online show. “He is a very promising candidate," said Elon Musk in a post on X.

Donald Trump is likely to skip first Republican debate on August 23 in Milwaukee, And in such a situation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who desperately needs momentum in his challenge to former US President for the party's nomination, would be the top target of the debate from other candidates looking to climb past him and brand themselves as voters' primary alternative to Trump. "The guy on the stage in the No. 1 spot is probably going to be taking more heat than the others," a strategist told Reuters.

Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday made a roster move, placing right-hander Julio Teheran on the 15-day disabled list due to a right hip impingement. This decision followed Teheran's challenging performance on Saturday night, where he allowed nine runs on 11 hits during the team's 11-5 loss against his former team, the Atlanta Braves. With a record of 2-5 and a 4.74 ERA in 11 games, Teheran has faced some recent struggles, having lost his last three decisions. In response to Teheran's placement on the disabled list, the Brewers called up right-hander Peter Strzelecki from Triple-A Nashville. Prior to his stint in Nashville, Strzelecki had appeared in 36 games, all in relief, for Milwaukee, with a 3-5 record and a 4.54 ERA. However, during his time in Nashville, he experienced a higher ERA of 7.04 across seven games. This roster move aims to address the team's pitching needs and provide an opportunity for Strzelecki to contribute to the Brewers' efforts on the mound.

Cincinnati Reds have made a significant move to extend the contract of their manager, David Bell, for three more years until the 2026 season. At 50 years old, Bell has been at the helm for five years and is currently in the final year of his previous contract. Last season was challenging for the Reds, as they endured 100 losses. However, this year has been a different story, with an impressive resurgence driven by a dynamic young core. The team's current record of 56-48 puts them in a competitive position, just 1½ games behind the first place in the National League Central division. If they manage to outperform the Milwaukee Brewers and the Chicago Cubs, they would accomplish a historic feat — becoming the first team in major league history to go from triple-digit losses to a division title in consecutive seasons.
