The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced Thursday that Megyn Kelly and other well-known journalists will host the fourth GOP presidential debate on December 6.
The fourth debate will take place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and will be co-hosted by NewsNation, The Washington Free Beacon, The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM and Rumble. What a great choice! Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon, and Elizabeth Vargas, news anchor for NewsNation, will join Kelly to lead the forum.
“It will be the margarita of the debates: spicy, fun and a little intoxicating. I look forward to it,” Kelly said in a press release.
It’s on! Can’t wait ⬇️ https://t.co/X14rQJiBKR

Fox News and Fox Business hosted the first two debates. The Young America Foundation (YAF), the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Univision and Rumble were chosen as partners. Some well-known conservative media figures spoke out against the second debate after Univisión reporter Ilia Calderón asked questions about LGBTQ racism and discrimination.
Kelly didn’t like the second debate, tweeting, “Is this an MSNBC debate?”
After the backlash, the RNC joined NBC News, Salem Radio News and the Republican Jewish Coalition for the discussion. Aside from some heated exchanges, the third debate was mostly a chance for the candidates to say what they wanted to say. Legislators had less chance to react.
In a 2022 interview, David Bossie, who was in charge of the Interim Commission on Presidential Conversations, said the talks would not be shown to “the same outlets” but to “conservative media.”
“Look, I’m just spitballing here because we haven’t done anything, but the American people, the Republican primary voters, wouldn’t want to see a debate where, I don’t know, Mark Levin and Dan Bongino have to ask questions? Right? No would it be interesting and entertaining at the same time?” Bossie told Daily Caller editorial director i Radio WMALDC Vince Coglianese when asked if the debates would be hosted by conservative outlets like the Daily Wire, Breitbart or National Review.
The news comes a day after Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy grilled the Republican Party and NBC moderators over the Democrats’ debate format.
“Frankly, look,” Ramaswamy began. “The people there, cheering for having lost to the Republican Party. Consider who moderates this debate. It would have to be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. We would have 10 times the audience asking questions that really matter to Republican primary voters and bringing more people to our party.”
“Do you think the Democrats, and we have Kristen Welker here, do you think the Democrats would actually hire Greg Gutfeld to host a Democratic debate? They wouldn’t,” he added.
“And so the fact is, I mean, Kristen, I’m going to use this time. This is really about you in the media and the Corrupt Media Establishment. Let me ask you: The Trump Russia Collusion Hoax that you pushed for years on this network: was it real or was it disinformation made up by Hillary Clinton? Answer the question.”
“This is how we get our country back,” he continued. “We need accountability because this media rigged the 2016 election. They rigged the 2020 election with a Hunter Biden laptop story and they will rig this election.”
It appears that RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is not a fan of Mr. Ramaswamy, if Tim Pool’s reports are to be believed McDaniel called him “an a-hole”.
But judging by his Thursday morning announcement, deep down, he knows he’s right.
