The first GOP debate will be in August in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The RNC announced it has partnered with Fox News for the debate.
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said, “the next President of the United States will be on our debate stage, and we look forward to hosting a fair and transparent platform for our great candidates to debate and share our winning Republican message with voters across the country.”
The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced Wednesday that Fox News will host the first GOP presidential primary debate in the 2024 cycle.
The debate, titled the “Fox News Republican Primary Debate with partners Young America’s Foundation and Rumble,” will take place during the month of August in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is the host city for the 2024 Republican National Convention.
“I am excited to announce that our first debate in Milwaukee will be in partnership with Fox News, Young America’s Foundation, and Rumble,” RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement first shared with Fox News on Wednesday.
McDaniel emphasized that “the next President of the United States will be on our debate stage, and we look forward to hosting a fair and transparent platform for our great candidates to debate and share our winning Republican message with voters across the country.”
The debate will also be live-streamed on Rumble.
She also said the RNC would livestream the debate on Rumble, a video platform popular with the political right.
“We’re also going to partner with some pretty exciting partners,” McDaniel said. “For the first time ever, we’re going to live stream on Rumble. We’re getting away from Big Tech, YouTube’s owned by Google. We’re going to have an RNC channel on Rumble. And then the Young Americas Foundation, which is run by Scott Walker, to really reach out to young voters. They’re based in Wisconsin, so they’re going to be a partner as well.”
The decision to give Fox News the first primary debate isn’t entirely surprising. The conservative-leaning network hosted the first GOP presidential primary debate in 2016 out of Cleveland. That debate had to be split into two separate groupings of candidates because of the large number of Republicans seeking the nomination that year.
