MANCHESTER, NH – Saint Anselm College will host a Republican presidential primary debate with ABC News and WMUR-TV on Thursday, Jan. 18.
Saint Anselm has a long history of impartial participation in the democratic process. Every major candidate for president since the 1960 election has visited Saint Anselm. The college is widely recognized as playing an important and unique role in placing all viable candidates before the American public.
The New Hampshire Institute of Politics, whose non-partisan mission is to educate, engage and empower citizens to participate in civic and political life, is at the center of much of this activity. The Institute offers students unparalleled opportunities to be in the front row of the democratic process in the United States.
“The New Hampshire Institute of Politics and Saint Anselm College are delighted to continue the long-standing tradition of partnering with ABC News and WMUR-TV in hosting the New Hampshire primary debate,” said Neil Levesque, executive director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.
Four years ago, Saint Anselm hosted the only head-to-head Democratic presidential primary debate in New Hampshire on Feb. 7, 2020. Once again, the debate will take place in the Thomas F. Sullivan Arena.
More details about the debate, format, qualifications, moderators, as well as ABC News’ coverage will be announced at a later time.
