Five days before Republicans vote in key primary states like Florida and Ohio, the four remaining candidates will face off Thursday evening for a crucial debate in Miami.
Hosted by CNN, Salem Media Group, The Washington Times, and the Republican National Committee, the debate will be held at the University of Miami, beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET. CNN anchor Jake Tapper will moderate and his colleague Dana Bash, Salem talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, and The Washington Times' Stephen Dinan will ask additional questions.
Republican frontrunner Donald Trump will participate, along with his three remaining rivals: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. This debate is considered heavily important at this moment in the primary, as losses for Trump in Florida and Ohio (home states to Rubio and Kasich, respectively) could cost him a secure nomination and could potentially result in a brokered convention.
