Jon Huntsman is the first candidate to follow through on threats to boycott the upcoming Las Vegas debate in protest of the state’s change in caucus date. His campaign announced that Huntsman will hold a town hall meeting in New Hampshire instead.
“While Mitt Romney’s campaign has tried to game the system by encouraging Nevada to move to an earlier date, Governor Huntsman is sticking up for the Granite State,” said campaign manager Matt David. “We call on all other campaigns to join us, avoiding typical hypocritical politics by paying lip service to New Hampshire, while campaigning in Nevada.”
