Republicans withdraw from “biased” US Commission on presidential debate-nationwide

Republican National Committee unanimously voted on Thursday, Presidential Debate CommitteeThe group, which has been debating for decades, said it was prejudiced and refused to enact reforms.
“Today, the RNC has resolved to withdraw from the biased CPD. We will not force future candidates to go through the biased CPD to insist on the American people. We will find a newer and better discussion platform, “committee spokeswoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.
It is unclear what form these discussions will take, or whether they will be as frequent as in recent decades.
The non-profit committee, which has been in discussion since 1987, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
This move is because Americans may not have access to unfiltered information about aspiring leaders, as it could lead to deeper political divisions in the United States and less debate.
Republicans have long accused the debate committee, which was set up to codify debates as a permanent part of the presidential election, in favor of Democratic candidates.
