The first debate of the Republican presidential primary is in the books after eight of the candidates pursuing the 2024 GOP nomination gathered Wednesday night in Milwaukee.

Former President Donald Trump skipped the event. Others, like Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, weren’t invited. Pundits are now debating who won. But what do you, the readers, think?

This survey is not intended to be a scientific measurement of support for the candidates, and should not be interpreted as such. All participants received one vote. The results of the survey will be updated here, upon its closing noon ET Thursday.
