Donald Trump claimed that CNBC had agreed to his demands to limit its upcoming Republican debate to two hours.
CNN: “A source with knowledge of the decision said the Republican National Committee was putting in calls to the campaigns on Friday morning to inform them of the new format, which will cap the debate to two hours, including commercials.”
Trump had threatened to pull out of the debate if the network did not keep the debate’s length to two hours and allow candidates to make closing and opening statements.
