CNBC announces 10-candidate lineup for third Republican debate

The lineup for next week’s Republican presidential debate has been set.

Host CNBC announced on Wednesday that 10 candidates will share the stage for the Boulder, Colorado, primetime affair. That’s one less person than the party’s last meeting because the governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, suspended his campaign.

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump will be front and center at Wednesday’s 8pm EDT event alongside fellow outsider Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon.

Other participants include Florida senator Marco Rubio, former technology executive Carly Fiorina, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Texas senator Ted Cruz, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, Ohio governor John Kasich and Kentucky senator Rand Paul.

CNBC will host an “undercard” debate at 6pm for those who did not place in the top 10 in recent national polls.
