<human>:  Why don't the GOP want to do presidential debates anymore?
<bot>: The main Republican presidential debates were cancelled due to the spread of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. It was decided that large, in-person events should be avoided to maintain social distancing and minimize risk of transmission of the disease. Due to the pandemic, the last debate was held on March 31st, and neither party has announced any plans to reschedule. The Democratic primary debate schedule will continue as planned throughout April.
