"Mark your calendars: Third Republican debate set for November 8"

The third Republican presidential primary debate will be held on November 8 in Miami. The Republican National Committee has released new criteria, requiring candidates to poll at least 4% in two national polls or in one national poll and two polls from separate early voting states. Candidates will also need to collect a minimum of 70,000 unique donors. The debates provide an opportunity for former President Donald Trump's Republican opponents to reach a national audience, although Trump himself has skipped the first debate and expressed reluctance to debate his GOP rivals.
