Michigan Republicans Ask RNC to Delay 2024 Presidential Debate Over Venue

State GOP claims proposed Detroit location could give unfair advantage to Trump, native son

Party requests debate location be moved from Michigan due to concerns about bias

The Michigan Republican Party voted to ask the Republican National Committee (RNC) to move the 2024 presidential primary debate out of the state. The party claims that holding the debate in Michigan could give an unfair advantage to former President Donald Trump, who was born and raised in the state.

The RNC has not yet responded to the request. The party is expected to announce the location of the debate in the coming months.

If the RNC does move the debate out of Michigan, it would be a blow to the state's Republican Party. The party has been hoping to use the debate to boost its chances of winning the state in the 2024 presidential election.

However, some Republicans are concerned that holding the debate in Michigan could backfire. They argue that Trump is unpopular in the state and that his presence could alienate voters.

A recent poll found that only 38% of Michigan voters have a favorable view of Trump. This is lower than his national approval rating of 43%.

The Michigan Republican Party is divided on whether to move the debate out of the state. Some members believe that it is important to hold the debate in Michigan to show that the party is united behind Trump. Others believe that it is more important to win the state in the 2024 presidential election.

The RNC is expected to make a decision on the location of the debate in the coming months.
