RNC announces location and qualification criteria for fourth GOP primary debate

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

The remaining Republican candidates will have to meet even stricter voting and fundraising thresholds to be able to take the stage in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for the Dec. 6 event, a memo released by the RNC shows.

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

Candidates must also have a minimum of 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 separate state polls with early voting.
