A trio of debate newcomers will co-moderate the second Republican verbal bout at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.
Fox News host Dana Perino, Fox Business Network host Stuart Varney, and Univision anchor Ilia Calderón will referee the“I think it’s going to be a very lively debate. And what we want to avoid is an interview situation,” Varney told The Post ahead of the showdown.With fewer than four months left before the Republican nominating calendar begins with the Iowa caucuses Jan. 15, contenders are scrambling for a boost.
In 1980, he was recruited to join the New York bureau of the newly launched CNN, where he hosted the business-focused programs “Business Day,” “Business Asia” and “Moneyline.” He jumped ship to CNBC in 2001, then went to Fox News in 2004 before shifting over to Fox Business Network when it launched in 2007.
Dana Perino has prepared for the Wednesday night mayhem for years with raucous TV segments featuring firebrands Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfield.“This is an outstanding country, and I felt what I think of as the warm embrace of America, despite my accent.”Though Perino, 51, has never moderated a debate before, she has plenty of experience in American politics.
Univision’s Ilia Calderón has been teaming up with her counterparts from Foxcorps to prepare for the second GOP debate.After briefly moving to the UK with her British-born husband Peter McMahon, Perino returned to the US in 2001 to become a spokesperson for the George W. Bush Justice Department. She moved over to the White House that November and eventually ascended to the post of press secretary for the final 16 months of Bush’s presidency.
