Milwaukee to host first Republican presidential primary debate in August

The Republican National Committee will hold its first presidential primary debate in Milwaukee in August.

The organization’s Standing Committee on Presidential Debates voted to host the first debate in the same city that is scheduled to host the 2024 Republican National Convention.

In an email sent to RNC members, committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said no other debates have been sanctioned by the RNC and noted that the final criteria for the first debate have not been decided yet.
