The Republican National Committee on Jan. 13 escalated a feud with the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), threatening to bar the party’s future presidential nominees from participating in debates organized by the panel.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, in a letter made public by the committee, told CPD leaders that because the panel is refusing to make changes to the way debates are planned and run, the organization is on track to remove Republicans from the equation.
