The RNC decided to withdraw from the presidential debates for the upcoming election due to concerns about the fairness of the questions that would be presented. This decision mirrors past claims over the fairness of presidential debates as there were initial claims from the RNC over the 2016 debates being weighted in favor of the DNC's candidate. Such claims would suggest a certain level of concern and fear over their ability to perform well in such a debate, as usually the chance to battle it out over the airwaves would be a golden opportunity for each side to strengthen support while weakening opposition.
