Republicans plan to head south to Miami for their third 2024 primary debate in early November, a Republican National Committee official told The Post.
Florida is home to former President Donald Trump — the front-runner — and his arch-rival in the polls, Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The revelation about the third debate taking place in Florida comes after a report from The Messenger claimed Trump was pushing the RNC to change its venue, which his campaign vehemently denied.
The third debate will follow the upcoming oral showdown scheduled for September 27 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California hosted by Fox Business.
The RNC holds its first debate on August 23 in Milwaukee.
Previous candidates and rumors indicate that the third debate will take place in Tuscaloosa at the University of Alabama.

Unlike Wisconsin and California, Florida has consistently tilted red in recent years, even though it was once widely considered a purple battleground state.
Trump skipped the first GOP debate and is rumored to be going to the second one as well.
His absence loomed large at the first GOP debate, given his large lead in the polls over his rivals.
The 77-year-old former president beat 44-year-old DeSantis, his closest challenger, by 43.1 percentage points, according to the latest RealClearPolitics polling aggregate.

During the upcoming GOP debate in Simi Valley, the RNC is ramping up its prerequisites for candidates to advance to the debate stage.
Aspirants must reach the 50,000 unique donor threshold — up from 40,000 for the first debate and garner at least 3% support in selective voting, up from 1%.
The criteria for the third debate can be more difficult.
