The Republican presidential candidates are not letting up on CNBC.

Still chafing at the network’s handling of Wednesday night’s debate, representatives from the campaigns are planning to take their grievances to the Republican National Committee, campaign sources told CNN.

Ben Carson even told reporters on Thursday that he would be demanding a new debate format and was reaching out to the other Republican candidates in an attempt to force changes in the next debate.

‎”We need a change of format,” Carson said during a press conference in Lakewood, Colorado. “Debates are supposed to be to get to know the candidates, what is behind them. What it has turned into is a gotcha.” ‎

Carson declined to specify exactly what changes he would ask for, but said his campaign was reaching out to the other campaigns to “lay out a plan” going forward for a new format.

The two hour long CNBC debate was moderated by Carl Quintanilla, John Harwood and Becky Quick.

Sources with other campaigns told CNN that they intend to vocalize their concerns. The goal, they said, is to ensure that moderators at the next debate — hosted by the Fox Business Network on November 10 — focus on more substantive issues, skip the “gotcha” questions, and provide all candidates with more equal speaking time.
