RNC announces location and qualifying criteria for fourth GOP primary debate 

Republican White House hopefuls will head to Alabama next month for the fourth GOP presidential primary debate, the Republican National Committee revealed Friday.

The remaining field of GOP candidates will have to meet stricter voting and fundraising thresholds to participate in Tuscaloosa, Ala., for the Dec. 6 event, a memo released by the RNC plans.

Debate contestants need at least 6% support in two national polls or 6% support in one national poll and 6% in two different state primary polls.

Candidates also need to have at least 80,000 unique donors, with at least 200 unique donors in 20 states.

Voting and fundraising requirements must be met no later than 48 hours before the debate.

For next week’s third primary debate, candidates need 70,000 donors and at least 4% support in two national polls or in one national poll and two polls from separate early voting states.

Former President Donald Trump, the GOP front-runner, has declined to participate in any of the first three debates and will likely sit out the fourth as well. Reuters

It appears that at least four candidates will meet the eligibility threshold for the November 8 debate in Miami: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) qualified and participated in the second debate but it is unclear whether they have met the stricter threshold for the third forum.
