REPUBLICAN DEBATE: RNC ANNOUNCES THE EIGHT GOP 2024 CONTENDERS WHO MADE THE CUT
Here is all the information on how to watch the first debate of the 2024 Republican primary.
Tuning into the debate
The debate, which is set to last two hours, is set to begin at 9 p.m.
Despite some previous debates being aired on multiple channels, the first RNC debate will air exclusively on Fox News and Fox Business Network and be moderated by hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
Rumble, a video-sharing platform, will livestream the debate.
Where is the debate being held?
Candidates will be on the stage in Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee in a battleground state that will also host the Republican National Convention next year.
Former President Donald Trump lost Wisconsin in 2020 but won narrowly in 2016. It is likely to be a key deciding factor in the 2024 election, as well.
