The RNC’s Feud With the Presidential Debate Commission Leads to Threats of Boycotting
The Republican National Committee has told the Commission on Presidential Debates that it intends to make GOP presidential candidates commit to boycotting its events in the future, escalating an ongoing rift between the two organizations that percolated during the 2020 election cycle.
RNC officials sent a letter Thursday to the independent and bipartisan body, which has overseen general election presidential debates for more than three decades, stating the party plans to change its rules and require candidates seeking the Republican nomination to vow not to participate in debates held by the commission.
