The Republican National Committee unanimously voted to withdraw from the Commission on Presidential Debates on Thursday.
GOP presidential candidates have participated in the CPD debates in every election for over 30 years.
Republican presidential hopefuls will now be asked to sign a pledge saying that they will only appear at party-sanctioned primary and general election debates.
The RNC said that the commission is “biased” and vowed to find “newer, better” platforms.
“The Commission on Presidential Debates is biased and has refused to enact simple and commonsense reforms to help ensure fair debates including hosting debates before voting begins and selecting moderators who have never worked for candidates on the debate stage,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.
In January, McDaniel detailed the bias towards Democrats in a letter to the commission.
