“ABC News and WMUR-TV have officially given Donald Trump and Nikki Haley’s campaigns a deadline of 5:00 pm EST today to commit to the Republican presidential primary debate planned for Thursday, Jan 18 at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. We will update our plans accordingly,” said a Tuesday joint statement from ABC News and New Hampshire affiliate.
Asked to comment on the deadline by Semafor’s Shelby Talcott, large-headed Trump spokesman Steven Cheung responded only with “There’s a debate?” which we guess is the campaign’s answer.
