"7 Candidates Make the Cut for Second GOP Debate, Who Didn't?"

Seven candidates have qualified for the second Republican presidential debate, which will be held at Ronald Reagan's presidential library in California. Former President Donald Trump, the current GOP front-runner, will not be participating and will instead hold events in Michigan. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson did not make the cut this time. The qualifying criteria included support in national polls and polls from early-voting states, as well as a minimum number of unique donors. The candidates who will be on stage include Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, Doug Burgum, and Mike Pence.
