The Republican Party plans to hold its second presidential primary debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced the decision Thursday during a speech at the library. She did not provide a date but the event will follow the first debate in Milwaukee in August.
The library has hosted debates before, including one in 2015 in the run-up to Donald Trump’s victory the following year. The site has symbolic significance for the GOP, given its reverence for the Reagan era. “We’re not dealing with small, minor differences between two parties. These are not simple policy discussions that we’re discussing. We’re electing and determining the future of our country,” she said. “There are two very different paths being laid out.”The former president, Mr. Trump, is seeking his old job while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to launch a bid in the coming months.
President Biden hasn’t formally declared his reelection bid but he’s signaled that an announcement is imminent.
