STORY TOOLS 
More from Other NewsChris Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball," will moderate the May 3 GOP presidential debate at the Reagan Library, officials announced today.
In addition, Matthews will air one "Hardball" program from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum with analysis of the presidential debate.
"Debates put presidential candidates on the same stage. That's the way voters like to see them, squaring off, testing their wits, competing with ideas," Matthews said in a press release. "It's an honor to be moderating the first Republican debate."
This will be the first presidential debate to be held at any presidential library, and a landmark event for the Reagan Library.
MSNBC is also hosting the Democratic debate in South Carolina on April 26. That debate will be hosted by Brian Williams, NBC "Nightly News" anchor.
