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.
We keep holding these debates, but it seems all of our uneducated brainwashed constituents keep wanting to vote for some asshole who thinks he’s too important to show up to them. So we quit. Thoughts and prayers.
