First GOP Debate Scheduled for August 6

Fox News, which will sponsor the first Republican presidential debate, is expected to announce soon that it has settled on August 6 in Cleveland, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

“The Republican National Committee announced in January that Ohio would host the party’s first clash of 2016 contenders. And it was little secret that Cleveland was the preferred location, given that the city is hosting the RNC’s summer meeting the first week of August, as well as the GOP’s nominating convention next year.”
