Republican Primary Debate Schedule

The 2016 cycle is underway, and it will be a landmark election for Republicans. The RNC has worked to ensure that candidates can bring their ideas and vision to Americans in a fair, timely, and effective way by constructing a clear and consistent debate process. This schedule ensures we will have a robust discussion among our candidates while also allowing the candidates to focus their time engaging with voters directly. The RNC has also worked to partner with conservative media to make sure the concerns of grassroots Republicans are addressed. Below you can find an up-to-date schedule of officially RNC sanctioned debates.
