CNN’s planned Republican debate in Iowa may be in jeopardy as only one candidate is likely to participate.
Governor Ron DeSantis has expressed his intention to attend, but former Ambassador Nikki Haley has not confirmed her participation.
The RNC’s withdrawal from debates has led to new offers for candidates, and it’s uncertain if Haley will participate in the CNN event or through another platform. (Trending: Hunter Biden’s Own Memoir Is Coming Back To Haunt Him In Criminal Trial)

Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote on X this week, “looking forward to debating in Iowa!”
“Since the RNC pulled out of the debates, many new offers have come in,” said Nikki Haley’s spokeswoman Olivia Perez-Cubas.
Haley is reportedly undecided on whether she will participate in CNN’s debate.
“We look forward to debating in Iowa and continuing to show voters why Nikki is the best candidate to retire Joe Biden and save our country,” Perez-Cubas said.
Adding, “That debate should include Donald Trump.”
DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin said, “After that loss, it is no wonder why Haley has failed to confirm she will join Ron DeSantis on the debate stage in Iowa and New Hampshire next month.”
“Ron DeSantis has accepted every major debate and won each of them,” added Griffin.
Concerns also arise regarding Vivek Ramaswamy’s and former Gov. Chris Christie’s qualifications, as they currently fall short of the polling threshold.
The debate is scheduled for January 10, and there is time for Haley to confirm her attendance.
