Rick Perry Set To Make Debate Debut
Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 9:23AMGovernor Rick Perry will make his first appearance alongside other Presidential hopefuls in Wednesday evening’s Republican debate at the Reagan Library in California.
Although Perry made a late entry into the race, he has surged in the polls and captured the party’s frontrunner status from former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. According to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll, Perry leads Romney 27 percent to 22 percent.
Many have speculated however that Perry’s standing in the race could be shaken after he makes more public appearances.
Perry was previously scheduled to attend a candidates’ forum in South Carolina on Monday. However, the Governor backed out over growing concerns over wildfires in his state.
The debate, sponsored by Politico and NBC News, is being held at 8pm.
