*After failing to qualify for Wednesday’s primary debate, Republican presidential candidates Larry Elder and Perry Johnson threatened to sue the Republican National Committee.
Elder claimed in a post on X, (formerly known as Twitter), that he will sue the RNC to “halt” the debate this week.
The controversial media personality explained that his campaign sent a debate qualification package to the RNC, but the committee refused to accept a Rasmussen poll used in the package, The Daily Beast reports.
“I said from the beginning that it appeared the rules of the game were rigged, little did we know just how rigged it is,” Elder wrote. “For some reason, the establishment leaders at the RNC are afraid of having my voice on the debate stage.”

Johnson’s campaign also claims the RNC rejected him because they weren’t accepting certain polls.
“The corrupt and rigged RNC debate process has been a trainwreck from the beginning,” said Johnson. “Our campaign hit every metric put forward by the RNC and we have qualified for the debate. It is clear that from the beginning, the RNC knew who they wanted on the stage and who they wanted to ban from the stage.”
Elder added an image to Twitter with more details on his qualifications, which he claimed his campaign met.
“Rasmussen Polls is a reputable, nationally-recognized firm and one of only THREE polling firms who accurately predicted the outcome of the 2016 Presidential Election,” Elder said.
In a Fox News interview on Friday, Elder said he fell short of the 40,000 donor threshold by 2,000 donors.
