The release also noted that the CPD made \u201cunilateral changes\u201d to the \u201cpreviously agreed-upon debate formats and conditions,\u201d sometimes without notifying the\u00a0candidates about the changes.<\/p>\n<p>The RNC noted that the CPD even selected a\u00a0moderator during the last presidential debate cycle who previously worked for Joe Biden, the opponent of the Republican nominee, then-President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The committee further exposed the CPD board for failing to maintain its \u201cstrict nonpartisanship\u201d policy as most of the board members had publicly\u00a0criticized Trump while he was a candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Republican Party deserves better. The American people deserve better,\u201d the RNC press release stated.<\/p>\n<p>McDaniel prefaced the RNC announcement with an exclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/18\/exclusive-ronna-mcdaniel-the-rnc-is-fighting-for-fair-debates\/\">editorial<\/a> to Breitbart News in January, detailing the RNC\u2019s past difficulties with the CPD and vowing that Republicans \u201cwill work to find new, unbiased, modern debate platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Jacob Bliss is a reporter for Breitbart News.
