Third GOP Debate Approaches, Viewers Uninterested
Republican Party Yet to Announce Venue for Presidential Debate
The Republican Party is keeping everyone in suspense as it has yet to reveal the location, sponsoring network, or moderators for its upcoming presidential debate in Miami on November 8. Despite repeated requests for more information, the party has remained tight-lipped. This lack of transparency has only added to the intrigue surrounding the event.
The previous two debates have been somewhat lackluster, especially without the presence of former President Donald Trump, who is currently leading the pack. Viewership has also been on the decline compared to previous years. While the first debate garnered a respectable 12.8 million viewers, the second debate only managed to attract 9.5 million, the lowest in recent memory.
