Megyn Kelly, Washington Free Beacon editor in chief Eliana Johnson, and NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas will moderate the fourth Republican presidential primary debate of the 2024 election cycle, which is slated to occur December 6 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
“I am thrilled to announce that the RNC has sanctioned the fourth Republican primary debate in Alabama with NewsNation, ‘The Megyn Kelly Show,’ the Washington Free Beacon, and Rumble as our partners. With less than a year out from Election Day 2024, the fourth debate stage will showcase our winning Republican agenda against Biden’s record of failure,” Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel said, according to a press release.
“It will be the margarita of debates – spicy, fun and somewhat intoxicating. Looking forward to it,” Kelly said, according to the press release.
“The Free Beacon is excited to partner with ‘The Megyn Kelly Show’ and NewsNation to offer the candidates a debate platform outside of the mainstream media echo chamber and to give Republican primary voters a debate where conservative ideas and values will be the terrain and not the target,” Johnson said, according to the press release.
Five candidates participated Wednesday night in the third GOP presidential primary debate of the 2024 election cycle, but former President Donald Trump, who has been trouncing the rest of the Republican primary field in polls, was not in attendance at the event in Miami, Florida. Trump, who held a rally in Hialeah, Florida, on Wednesday night, has not attended any of the first three debates so far.
The third debate was moderated by Lester Holt, Kristen Welker, and Hugh Hewitt, but during the event, author and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy said that Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk should have been the moderators.
Ramaswamy suggested that McDaniel should resign, saying that if she wanted to get on stage and resign, he would yield his time to her.
