RNC names Fox Business and Univision among partners for second GOP primary debate

The Republican National Committee has announced Fox Business and Univision as partners for the second GOP presidential primary debate, which will be held September 27 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The facility is located in the notoriously liberal state of California.

"Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced FOX Business, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, Univision, and Rumble as the partners for the second Republican presidential primary debate that will take place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on September 27, 2023. As with the first debate, Rumble will be the exclusive RNC livestream provider and the RNC's exclusive online home for the second debate," an RNC press release noted.

The first Republican presidential primary debate, scheduled for August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will be moderated by Fox News Channel's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the RNC is partnering with Rumble and Young America's Foundation for that event.

Former President Donald Trump, who has been trouncing the entire Republican primary field, has been indicating that he could potentially skip the upcoming August debate.

Fox News has reported that so far, eight presidential hopefuls have met the polling and fundraising thresholds required to participate in the first debate, including Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

The outlet also reported that former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has attained the polling requirements but has not yet reached the fundraising threshold required to compete in the first debate. And Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has met the fundraising threshold but not yet reached the required polling threshold, according to the Fox News. Candidates still have more time to reach those thresholds in order to qualify.

With Biden dominating the Democratic primary field, Americans could very likely see a Trump-Biden rematch in 2024.
