Republican debate still set for Houston, unclear if UH will host
While it appears that next month's Republican debate will be in Houston, it is unclear if the University of Houston will play host as originally planned.
The Republican National Committee announced Monday that CNN will air the final debate before Super Tuesday, instead of NBC, with which UH had made its agreement to host the event.
The announcement said the debate will happen Feb. 25 in Houston at "a location to be decided."
A UH spokeswoman said Monday that the school had not heard any new details about the debate, which was originally scheduled for Feb. 26.
The GOP organization had objected to the tone of questions at an earlier debate on CNBC.
