Donald Trump has been pissed about this …
He threated to back out of the 2020 debate format….
Well?
The RNC has voted to not have the eventual Republican noiminee follow the guidelines of the Commission on Presidential Debates…
Hmmmm?
Oh, they’ll still support Presidential debates….
But not from the Commission…
All this goes back to to the pandemic and Donald Trump….
“Debates are an important part of the democratic process, and the RNC is committed to free and fair debates,” RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said in a statement. “The Commission on Presidential Debates is biased and has refused to enact simple and commonsense reforms to help ensure fair debates including hosting debates before voting begins and selecting moderators who have never worked for candidates on the debate stage.”
Ah❗️🙄….
GOP Voters Still Want Presidential Debates
Following the Republican National Committee’s decision to bow out of the current process, a new Politico/Morning Consult poll finds that 83% of Americans say it’s “important” for candidates to participate in presidential debates — including 80% of Republicans.
