Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said that the candidates participating in the Republican debate on Wednesday night and seeking the Republican nomination for the 2024 election "don't have a chance" against former President Donald Trump.
Greene stated that she did not even know who some of the candidates were, such as Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND). Greene is considered an ally of the former president, who decided to skip the first debate.

“These candidates, I don’t even know who some of them are. I was surprised that I didn’t know who the governor of North Dakota and some other people were,” Greene said in a clip on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, and shared by the Recount. “They really don’t have a chance. Because America knows what we had for years with President Trump. We want those days back.”
Greene touted some of the former president's successes, including when gas prices were under $2 a gallon. The congresswoman also stated she believes the race is already over.
"I’ve been saying it for weeks, this primary is over! President Trump is who the American people want to be our president for four more years. #MAGA," the congresswoman posted to X.

Trump, who is leading the Republican race by a large margin, decided on Sunday to stay out of the first debate, citing his high polling numbers as a basis for the decision. Eight other presidential hopefuls will participate in the debate, including Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), billionaire entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
The first debate will begin at 9 p.m. EDT in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
