Former Fox News host and current SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly will moderate the fourth Republican National Committee primary debate next month in Alabama.
“It will be the margarita of debates — spicy, fun and somewhat intoxicating. Looking forward to it,” Kelly said in a statement.

The RNC announced Thursday that Kelly, alongside NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas and the Washington Free Beacon’s Eliana Johnson, will question the remaining Republican primary candidates at the next debate.
“I am thrilled to announce that the RNC has sanctioned the fourth Republican primary debate in Alabama with NewsNation, The Megyn Kelly Show, the Washington Free Beacon, and Rumble as our partners. With less than a year out from Election Day 2024, the fourth debate stage will showcase our winning Republican agenda against Biden’s record of failure,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said.
NewsNation will host the debate, taking place on Dec. 6. According to the network, the live event will stream exclusively on NewsNation as well as the CW Network. The first debate was hosted by Fox News, followed by Fox Business, and NBC News.
Similar to Wednesday’s event, the NewsNation debate will air from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

“All of us at NewsNation are incredibly honored to be hosting a presidential primary debate and to be part of what will be another historic election season,” Nexstar’s President of Networks Sean Compton said. “We are also extremely pleased to have the opportunity to introduce more Americans to NewsNation, a 24-hour national news network, committed to delivering outstanding journalism and first-rate political coverage and analysis.”
Conservative publication the Washington Free Beacon also commented on the partnership. “The Free Beacon is excited to partner with The Megyn Kelly Show and NewsNation to offer the candidates a debate platform outside of the mainstream media echo chamber and to give Republican primary voters a debate where conservative ideas and values will be the terrain and not the target,” said Johnson, who is editor-in-chief.
