WasteOfTheDay: Nonprofit Commish on Pres Debates Made $8.7M in '19

The Republican National Committee recently made news for planning to prohibit Republican candidates from participating in future debates run by the nonprofit Commission on Presidential Debates. The commission has run every presidential and vice-presidential debate since 1987.

Its mission is “to ensure, for the benefit of the American electorate, that general election debates between or among the leading candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States are a permanent part of the electoral process.”
