On Monday, the former president took to his Truth Social platform to share that while he is not planning to attend the event, he will definitely tune in to check out the competition.

"Let them debate so I can see who I MIGHT consider for Vice President!" he declared.

In July, Trump was invited to attend the event after meeting the fundraising and polling thresholds. While he hasn't definitively ruled out participating himself, he has expressed disinterest in the past.

As Trump currently leads the primaries in every poll by a wide margin, he and his allies are confident he will clinch the primary nomination.

The ex-president also tossed in some posts bashing Fox News, which is hosting the first debate, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is trailing far behind.

"MAGA, which is most of the Republican Party, is very angry at FoxNews for continuing to push Ron DeSanctimonious, no personality and all," he wrote.

The first Republican primary debate will be held in Milwaukee, and will air live on Fox News August 23.
