We’re somehow staring down the barrel of yet another election year—and while former president Donald Trump’s legal antics have taken center stage lately, there’s a whole field of GOP candidates jockeying to win their party’s nomination. Here, ahead of tomorrow’s Republican primary debate—the first of the 2024 presidential election—find all the details on who’s participating, what major issues are expected to be brought up, and more:
Who will appear at Wednesday’s GOP debate?
As of now, the attendee list includes Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Doug Burgum, and Asa Hutchinson.
Who isn’t expected to appear at the debate?
Trump recently announced via social media that he’d be skipping the debate and stated in the past that he wouldn’t sign the pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee that participation in the debate requires.
What issues are likely to be discussed at the debate?
The debate will be moderated by Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and it’s hard not to imagine that the assembled candidates will be asked for their views on the criminal indictments against Trump. Other topics that may come up include foreign policy (most likely as it relates to the Russia-Ukraine War), abortion, and immigration at the US-Mexico border.
When and where will the debate take place?
The 2024 GOP hopefuls will face off at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee from 9 to 11 p.m. ET. You can tune in on Fox News, Fox Business Network, foxnews.com, or the streaming platform Rumble.
