The second 2016 Republican Presidential primary debate will be held in the Reagan Presidential Library. Nancy Reagan sent invitations out to 16 of the 17 Republican candidates for the debate. The only candidate that was not invited was former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore, this is because one of the debate requirements is you must be polling at least 1%. As of right now Gilmore is below 1%. For the debate, the candidates that will be participating will be split up into two debates. One debate will have the top 10 candidates based on an average of recent polls. The debate will include the candidates who meet the minimum polling requirement of 1%.
As of right now the candidates who will be participating in each debate is exactly the same as the Fox News debate with the exception of Jim Gilmore. As of right now Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, and Scott Walker will all be in the prime time GOP debate. In the other debate, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, George Pataki, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum will all be participating. Of course the candidates who participate in each debate can change because CNN will be using the average of polls from July 16 - September 10. From now until September 10, some candidates may rise up and some may fall and loose their position in the prime time debate. One example of this is many believe Carly Fiorina will make it into the prime time debate because of her strong performance in the Fox News debate and recent polling shows her gaining ground.
