Welp, David Duke Qualified for the U.S. Senate Debate [View all]
David Duke, former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard and current white supremacist, has pulled enough support in his run for Louisiana’s U.S. Senate seat that he’ll participate in November’s televised debate. He’s excited:
David Duke @DrDavidDuke
Important News! I qualified for the U.S. Senate most important debate in Louisiana on Nov 2. I can't wait to tell truth nobody else dares!
Duke scratched together the minimum five percent support (5.1 percent, to be exact) required for a spot in the November 2 debate at the historically black Dillard University in New Orleans. He’ll appear in alongside Republican State Treasurer John Kennedy (24.2 percent), Democrat Foster Campbell (18.9 percent) and three others.
According to Politico, Duke has done very little campaigning, nor has he raised much money. Those two facts don’t seem to have discouraged his delusion that he’ll win, though. “I’ve got a great chance,” he told ABC, adding that “I always fly under the radar. If you look at the history of polling me in primary and previous races, I’ve always gotten at least two to three times more votes than the polls actually showed.”
