Republican Primary Debate

The Republican National Committee will host the fourth Republican primary debate Dec. 6 in the Moody Music Building.  

The University welcomes the RNC and its presidential candidates for their upcoming primary debate. As a public institution, UA promotes free speech and facilitates numerous opportunities for civil discourse and presentation of ideas. Our campus is honored to serve as a neutral site for the debate, and hosting the event is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. 

Any impact on campus activities and classes should be minimal.

The University is serving as the venue for the event. The RNC will manage the debate with its media partner, NewsNation. 

The University is not managing the event or tickets. The RNC controls all tickets for its event.
