Tallahassee, FL - Ron DeSantis today accepted CNN's invitation to debate on January 21, 2024 at the New England College Campus in Henniker, New Hampshire. This is the second debate invitation DeSantis has accepted in New Hampshire.
"Given the short amount of time between the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire's primary, participating in multiple debates on different networks is the best way for Granite State voters to hear the contrast between the candidates as well as their closing arguments," said Communications Director Andrew Romeo. "Nikki Haley's recent flub about the cause of the Civil War shows that she isn't ready for primetime, but this debate will give her an opportunity to finally clean up her mess with the people of New Hampshire. And for Donald Trump, this debate will provide him with the perfect setting to stop cowering behind his teleprompter and step into the arena."
