Chris Christie and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy Monday night that if they went through with a separate joint appearance on Fox News they would be forbidden from participating in subsequent committee-sanctioned debates.
The RNC’s warnings on Monday came after Christie and Ramaswamy each posted about their dual appearance on host Bret Baier’s Fox News 6 p.m. program Tuesday evening, describing it as an opportunity to have the type of substantive exchange that the committee-sanctioned debates have lacked.@ChrisChristie tomorrow for a full hour on Fox at 6pm with @BretBaier,” posted Ramaswamy on X.
The announcement of the Christie and Ramaswamy Fox debate gave an opening for the Trump campaign to further their calls for the RNC to cancel the third debate altogether. Trump and his campaign have cited Trump’s dominance in the polls as their reason for him not participating. Trump has said he will not debate in the GOP primary, after having skipped the first two.
