"Republican Party Embraces Candidate Freedom in Presidential Debates"

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has allowed presidential candidates to organize their own debates before the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, ending the party's role in moderating the selection process. This decision could lead to an increase in the number of debates and allow higher polling candidates to limit access to their rivals. Some news organizations have already volunteered to host future events, and former President Donald Trump, the current polling leader, would qualify for participation. The RNC's retreat has been welcomed by Trump's adviser, while the RNC has not indicated whether it will organize another nomination debate next year.
