It’s the second round for seven 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls, all of whom are seeking a decisive moment in the second Republican primary debate.
Here’s what you need to know before you tune in.
When and where is the debate?
The candidates will meet at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, for a two-hour speaking engagement beginning at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
The debate will air on Fox Business Network, which will begin its special coverage at 6 p.m. with a special edition of “The Bottom Line” hosted by Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy.
Starting at 8 p.m., FBN will host an hour-long “Countdown to Debate” special featuring a variety of Fox stars.

How can I see it?
In addition to Fox Business, Univision is co-hosting and broadcasting the debate, which can also be seen on Fox News, Fox Nation and Rumble.
The Sling TV live TV streaming service carries Fox News, but you’ll need to subscribe to a basic plan + add-on to stream it.
Who moderates the Republican debate?
Fox News host Dana Perino, Fox Business Network host Stuart Varney and Univision host Ilia Calderón will moderate the showdown after Fox News’ Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum oversaw the first debate last month on Milwaukee.
What are the topics of the Republican debate?
The moderators have largely kept their cards to themselves ahead of Wednesday night, but have indicated that more than economic issues will be discussed.
“I think the audience is interested in a wide variety of topics and issues that will take center stage in the election. “We don’t want to talk exclusively about economics just because it’s on Fox Business,” Varney told The Post.
Expect topics such as the growing migrant crisis, the war in Ukraine, crime, worker strikes, and more to be discussed.

What candidates will be there?
Seven of the eight candidates from the first debate will be there after former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson failed to qualify.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina Governor and Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), former Vice President Mike Pence, former Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum will participate.
The alignment is determined by electoral standing, so DeSantis will be center stage.

Will Donald Trump attend the Republican debate?
Obviously not.
As in the first debate, the former president and Republican Party favorite will skip the second confrontation to visit Michigan and meet with striking members of the United Auto Workers union.
President Biden quickly added a stop at the Michigan picket line to his Tuesday schedule after Trump’s visit was confirmed.
Unionized workers are demanding higher wages and benefits from Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Stellantis, Chrysler’s parent company. They left work on September 15.
Trump has cited his huge lead in the polls as a reason for quitting the debate.

What has changed since the last debate?
On the one hand, Trump has solidified his lead. Around the time of the first debate, he had a lead of approximately 41 percentage points nationally over his Republican peers; He now stands at around 43 points, according to the RealClearPolitics average.
Additionally, there has been a slight shakeup of lower-tier candidates in national polls. Pence has been dethroned from fourth place by Haley, who appears to be overtaking Ramaswamy for third place, according to RCP.
How did the candidates rate?
The prerequisites for the second debate were slightly more rigorous than those for the first.
To qualify, candidates needed to gather at least 50,000 individual donors, up from 40,000 in August.
They also needed to block at least 3% in two national polls or 3% in one national poll and 3% in two polls of the first four initial states. This was more than 1% last time.
Candidates who attended the second debate also had to sign multiple partisan pledges, including pledging to endorse the eventual nominee and only attend party-sanctioned debates.
Which candidates did not qualify?
In addition to Hutchinson, a handful of long-shot hopefuls won’t be on the scene. They are: former Texas Rep. Will Hurd, Los Angeles radio talk show host Larry Elder, Michigan businessman Perry Johnson, Texas businessman and pastor Ryan Binkley, and former Cranston, RI Mayor Steve Laffey .
Miami Mayor Frances Suarez, who missed the cut for the first debate, has since withdrawn.

Both Elder and Johnson regretted their exclusion from the first debate and, as a result, revealed plans to sue the RNC.
The third debate will take place in Miami on November 8, while the 2024 Republican primary schedule begins with the Iowa caucuses on January 15.
