Fourth GOP debate tonight will be key test for Bush
Eight Republican candidates will face off Tuesday night in Milwaukee, in the fourth round of Republican debates of the 2016 presidential election.
Two candidates - New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee - were bumped from the main stage to the undercard, after they failed to reach a threshold of 2.5 percent in national polls.
That leaves eight candidates left in the main event: billionaire Donald Trump, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Sen. Marco Rubio , Sen. Ted Cruz , former Florida governor Jeb Bush, former tech executive Carly Fiorina, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Rand Paul .
And two other candidates - former New York governor George Pataki and Sen. Lindsey O. Graham - were bumped from the undercard entirely, after failing to reach a lower threshold of 1 percent in national polls.
On Tuesday, then, the undercard field will include the newcomers Christie and Huckabee, along with former senator Rick Santorum and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
