John Wahl, chairman of the state Republican Party, said Friday he is hopeful Alabama will get to host a GOP presidential debate after reports surfaced Thursday that Miami -- not Tuscaloosa -- will host the third one.
said the debate will happen in Tuscaloosa.and a Tuscaloosa area resident, said the decision from the Republican National Committee is “not an anti-Alabama decision.”
It was the first time in 20 years Miami-Dade County voters backed a Republican candidate for Florida governor during a general election contest. Trump is at 55.5%, while DeSantis is second at 14.2%, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is third at 7.3%.Alabama, a reliably red state, could be in the running for a fourth primary debate that likely would not take place until December. It’s unclear if any other city is in the running.
