The Republican National Committee warned Thursday that it plans to "prohibit future Republican nominees" from participating in presidential debates sponsored by the official Commission on Presidential Debates, CNN reports.
"So long as the CPD appears intent on stonewalling the meaningful reforms necessary to restore its credibility with the Republican Party as a fair and nonpartisan actor, the RNC will take every step to ensure that future Republican presidential nominees are given that opportunity elsewhere," RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote in a Thursday letter to the commission.
