What is unclear is participation.
Last year, the RNC withdrew from the commission, which has organized the general election debates since 1987.
The RNC complained that the commission was biased and asked for a series of changes.
He did participate in a final debate during the cycle.
The commission also has moved up the timeline for the debates.
The first debate in 2020 was on Sept. 29; the next cycle it will be two weeks earlier.
The RNC had pressed the commission to move up the timeline due to the prevalence of early voting.
The commission also set a 15% threshold in a series of national polls to qualify.
Most cycles, that has meant that only the major party nominees have participated.
Bush and Bill Clinton in 1992.
The primary debates are organized by the party in conjunction with a host online grid.
