Fox News Media and Univision Announce Emmy Award-Winning Anchor Ilia Calderón to Co-Moderate Second Republican Presidential Debate

Fox News Media and Univision have announced that Emmy Award-winning Univision anchor Ilia Calderón will join Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney and Fox News anchor Dana Perino as a moderator for the second Republican presidential debate. The debate is scheduled for September 27th and will take place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

Fox News Media president Jay Wallace expressed his pride in the selection of Varney and Perino to co-moderate the debate, saying that it will provide Americans with a comprehensive view of the qualifying candidates vying for the Republican nomination for president.

Varney hosts “Varney and Co.” on Fox Business Network, which airs the debate, and Perino is a co-host of “The Five” on Fox News. Calderón co-moderated the final 2020 Democratic primary debate between Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders hosted by CNN.

The first debate did not have any Latinos present, as Miami Mayor and 2024 presidential hopeful Francis Suarez failed to qualify. Wallace hopes that the selection of Calderón to moderate the second debate will help to ensure that all voices are heard.

The debate will be broadcast live on Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel. It will also be streamed on Fox News Digital and Fox Business Digital platforms.
