The Republican National Committee on Friday announced its intent to pause participation in further presidential primary debates.

The Republican National Committee on Friday afternoon said it would pause participation in further Republican presidential primary debates, effectively leaving decisions around future debates up to media organizations and the 2024 Republican presidential candidates themselves.

“We have held four successful debates across the country with the most conservative partners in the history of a Republican primary,” the Republican National Committee (RNC)'s Committee on Presidential Debates said in a statement. “We have no RNC debates scheduled in January and any debates currently scheduled are not affiliated with the RNC.”

“It is now time for Republican primary voters to decide who will be our next President and candidates are free to use any forum or format to communicate to voters as they see fit,” the committee said.

    To add to this the parties should not be able to make demands and restrictions on questions of the debate runners, which is why the League of Women Voters gave it up in the first place.
