Meet the Eight Candidates Appearing in the First Republican Primary Debate



Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 21 Aug 2023

The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced the eight presidential candidates who will appear in the first GOP debate on Wednesday.

The following candidates are participating in Wednesday’s debate: Gov. Doug Burgum (ND), former Gov. Chris Christie (NJ), Gov. Ron DeSantis (FL), former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (AR), former Vice President Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Sen. Tim Scott (SC).

Fox News will host the debate Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the RNC “is excited to showcase our diverse candidate field and the conservative vision to beat Joe Biden on the debate stage Wednesday night.”

“I’d like to thank the RNC’s debate committee Chairman Dave Bossie and Co-Chair Anne Hathaway and our debate partners, Fox News, Young America’s Foundation, and Rumble for their work to kick off the primary process that will put our Party and eventual nominee in the best position to take back the White House next fall,” she added in a statement.

Notably missing is the Republican primary frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, who announced he would not be attending Wednesday’s debate due to a significant polling advantage.

You have it backwards. This is known as the adult debate -- Trump is going to be absent; otherwise it would be the kiddie debate.
