The Republican National Committee also tapped Salem Radio Network and the Republican Jewish Coalition as debate partners, and Rumble to live stream the debate.

The candidates who qualify for the stage will be announced closer to the event. The lingering question will be whether front runner Donald Trump participates. He has skipped the first two debates and has indicated he will not join the rest.

It had been anticipated that NBC News would be selected for the event. Puck News reported recently on the plans, with CBS News and ABC News in the running for future events.

Fox Business and Univision hosted the last debate in September at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. Fox News hosted the first debate of this cycle, an event that was held in Milwaukee.
