The Republican National Committee (RNC) has made a decision to allow its presidential candidates to organize their own debates, freeing them from a requirement to only participate in RNC-sanctioned forums. This decision opens the door to joint cable news appearances by the candidates and more frequent meetings in advance of the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. CNN had announced a Republican debate at a New Hampshire college, but the school has denied the existence of such an event. Additionally, the RNC has stated that it will not sponsor the January GOP primary debates and will release candidates from the requirement to participate in RNC-sanctioned forums. Republican presidential candidates are also speaking at Rep. Randy Feenstra's fundraiser in Sioux Center, IA, with the event being broadcast live on C-SPAN. Furthermore, GOP candidates are making last-minute pitches to Iowa religious voters, and they are weighing in on January debate participation.
