The Republican National Committee announced on Aug. 9 that Fox Business will host the second official Republican presidential debate of 2024. This means the conservative Fox outlets will be hosts of the party’s first two debates.

It is unknown whether the frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, will attend the event. President Trump has stated that he will not attend the first Republican debate scheduled for Aug. 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which will air on Fox News, a division of Fox News Media.
