As his rivals gather for the first Republican presidential debate next month, former President Donald Trump is likely to be among them, according to former White House aide Kellyanne Conway.
Conway, who helped manage Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, said that despite Trump’s public pronouncements that he may skip the debate, she expects that he will not be able to turn down the opportunity to mix it up on stage with his opponents.
“If I were you, I would keep that center podium warm because maybe he’ll make the announcement the day of,” Conway said during a Fox News interview Monday, according to the Washington Times. “You just never know.”
Conway summarized the crosscurrents of Trump joining the debate.
“On the one hand, he’s acting like a front-runner. He’s way ahead. What does he have to gain by going?” she said.
“On the other hand, that’s a natural habitat for him,” she continued.
