The Second Republican Presidential Debate: A Partnership with Fox Business, Univision, Rumble, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has exciting news to share! The second Republican presidential debate will be televised by Fox Business and Univision. This highly anticipated event will take place at the iconic Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California on September 27th. It’s a venue that perfectly embodies the spirit of American politics.
Partnerships for a Fair and Transparent Primary Process
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming debate, stating, “I am excited to announce that our second Republican primary debate will be in partnership with FOX Business, Rumble, Univision, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. We are looking forward to continuing our fair, neutral, and transparent primary process in Simi Valley to elect the next President of the United States.”
Fox Business has a strong track record in hosting debates, having successfully organized two during the 2016 Republican presidential primaries. Their sister network, Fox News Channel, will also host the first Republican debate of the 2024 cycle. Jay Wallace, president and executive editor of Fox News Media, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, “FOX Business is proud to partner with Univision for the second Republican primary debate from the renowned Ronald Reagan Presidential Library to provide all Americans with an unparalleled opportunity to assess the candidates and their stances on critical issues ahead of the primary season.”
Expanding Reach to Latino Voters
The RNC’s collaboration with Univision, a Spanish language network, is a strategic move to engage with Latino voters in the 2024 election. Maria Martinez-Guzman, executive vice president for Noticias Univision, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating, “Our unprecedented partnership with the RNC and FOX Business will provide a unique platform for the Republican Presidential Candidates to address the issues facing millions of our viewers. Hispanic voters will play a critical role in determining who will be the next president of the United States, and Univision’s audiences will be well informed when they cast their ballot.”
Qualifications and Top Contenders
The requirements for candidates to participate in the Sept. 27 debate were recently revealed. GOP hopefuls must reach 3% in two different national polls or 3% in one national poll along with 3% in two polls from different early primary or caucus states.
