Former President Donald Trump suggested in an interview on Thursday that he may participate in future GOP primary debates, a change in tune from his past resistance to battling it out with his 2024 rivals onstage.

Trump snubbed the first Republican National Committee and Fox News-sponsored debate last week and instead released a prerecorded interview with ousted Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

TRUMP'S GOP SUPPORT HAS ONLY CLIMBED SINCE THE INDICTMENTS BEGAN

But on Thursday, Trump appeared open to attending a future debate. "Do you anticipate at some point jumping into the debates?" Trump was asked during the Todd Starnes' radio show.

"I might. I mean, you know, it's possible. I liked debating. I guess I won because of the debates," he said. "You know, they've been very good to me. So I might. But at this moment, I'm leading by so much that it seems to be foolish to do it."

Earlier this month, a source familiar with Trump’s thinking told NBC News that his decision announcing he wouldn't participate in the first debate applies to only the first two debates, allowing him a chance to attend other debates if he changed his mind.

Trump's change in thinking also comes after an Emerson College poll released on Monday showed Trump dropped six percentage points after skipping the debate. A predebate poll showed Trump garnering 56% of Republican support, but in the wake of the debate, his support decreased to 50%.

However, Trump still remains the current front-runner in the primary race with 53.6% support, according to a RealClearPolitics poll average.

The former president went on to brag about the number of views his interview with Carlson received during his radio show interview. "It got good reviews. But more than anything, it got numbers that, the biggest numbers in history," he added.

The Trump-Carlson interview has more than 263 million views as of Thursday afternoon. But it must be noted that Twitter views are not held to the same standards as the primary debate on Fox News and Fox Business Network, which had 12.8 million viewers tune in.

Trump also criticized Fox News when Starnes asked him, “Mr. President, what the heck is going on at Fox News?” in reference to Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy claiming Trump had slipped in polling after snubbing the debate.

"Well, he’s incorrect because most of the polls, and I’m way ahead in Emerson, too, but most of the polls literally have me going up a lot since the debate, if you can call it that,” Trump said. "They’ll pick one poll where if you go down a little bit, they’ll use that one poll, but they won’t use 15 polls or a lot of the polls where you go up. But we’ve gone up very substantially, and we’ve gone up in just about every state."

The next Republican debate is scheduled for Sept. 27 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute in Simi Valley, California.
