Everything You Need to Know About Tuesday's Debate

Campaign 2016 has landed in Milwaukee. The top GOP candidates running for president will square off in the 4th republican primary debate of the election season. Streets in downtown Milwaukee are already blocked off in preparation of large crowds and protesters. Tuesday night’s debate takes place in the Milwaukee Theatre.

WHERE

The debate will take place in the Milwaukee Theatre.

WHEN

The undercard debate will begin at 6:00 PM and last an hour and a half. The prime time debate will begin at 8:00 PM and last two hours.

WHO

The prime time debate will include Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Rand Paul.

The earlier undercard debate will include Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum

WHY LESS CANDIDATES

This time around there will be fewer candidates on stage. To earn a spot in the prime time debate each candidate had to average at least 2.5% in the last four national polls. Christie and Huckabee did not make the cut for the prime time debate. In order to be in the undercard debate candidates need to average at least a 1.0% in the polls; Lindsey Graham and George Pataki did not make the cut.

IS THERE A QUESTION FOCUS

Fox Business has said the debate will focus on jobs, taxes, and the general health of the economy, as well as domestic and international policy issues.

The debate is co-hosted by Fox Business Network and the Wall Street Journal.
