According to the AP, four Republican candidates have qualified for the last debate per their campaigns: former-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former-U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former-Vice President Mike Pence have dropped out of the race.
Former-President Donald Trump — who is in the lead at a whopping 66 percent support among potential Republican primary voters, according to a Morning Consult poll — will not attend the debate and is currently on trial in a $250 million civil fraud case in New York. DeSantis follows at 13 percent backing, Haley received 10 percent, Ramaswamy sits at 6 percent and Christie only has 3 percent support.
