How To Watch Republican Debate Tonight: What Time, Channel, Streaming Options

Wednesday, Dec. 6, marks the fourth debate of the Republican presidential primary.

The only candidates expected to appear are former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, as they were the only candidates who were able to meet the Republican National Committee’s criteria. Their standards ask that candidates have a certain amount of unique donors and polling support to qualify for this fourth debate.

Though Donald Trump is a frontrunner for the party’s presidential nomination, he will again be skipping this evening’s presidential debate, which he has done for the previous three debates so far. He will instead be hosting a closed-door fundraiser in Florida.

The debate will be airing live from the
University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It is being hosted by NewsNation, The Washington Free Beacon, The Megyn Kelly Show on Sirius XM, and the streaming platform Rumble. Megyn Kelly, Elizabeth Vargas, and Eliana Johnson will be moderating the debate.
