The 2024 presidential campaign season could bring with it some changes as far as debates are concerned:
NEWS: The RNC has told the Commission on Presidential Debates that it's preparing to require presidential candidates to refuse to take part in those debates, potentially leading to a significant change in how debates have been conducted for 35 years https://t.co/v08IlEsG3L

No kidding…
Harwood was in constant email contact with John Podesta during the same period he hosted a GOP presidential debate. Can't imagine why GOP has reservations about the debate process. https://t.co/aeqincxq7X
