The Republican National Committee has unanimously voted to withdraw from the Commission on Presidential Debates. That means there may be no Republican participation in future presidential debates.

In a statement from the RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, the committee called the commission "biased" and said the American people deserve better.

However, the Republican presidential nominee will likely have the final say on whether or not to participate.

The commission has run the presidential debates since 1988.
