This week’s GOP presidential primary debate will have the smallest stage yet, with just four candidates facing off Wednesday night, the Republican National Committee announced Monday.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have qualified for Wednesday’s debate in Alabama, which will be hosted by NewsNation, “The Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM and The Washington Free Beacon.

Christie appeared to qualify only a short time before Monday night’s deadline, reaching at least 6% in the necessary national and early-state polls to meet the RNC’s requirements. Christie’s campaign announced last month that he had reached the 80,000 unique donors also required to qualify.

Former President Donald Trump is once again skipping the debate, instead appearing at a Fox News town hall Tuesday and holding a private fundraiser Wednesday.

1. Pisswig is not 'skipping the debate'

He doesn’t qualify as he refuses to sign the loyalty pledge to support the eventual chosen winner of the convention as required of candidates to participate .

Facts matter

2. Irony

Trump demands loyalty. Incredibly pathetic human being. Supported by same.

3. They would have let him in anyway

He's afraid to go. Christie has said that he won't support Trump if he's the nominee, and he's there.

6. He did that in 2016 too, refused to sign the pledge

they let him on anyway.

4. This is why Trump stayed out of the debates as he is letting the GOP candidates waste their

time and resources attacking other.

7. Trump will destroy them with his insanity laced made up stories. His followers love it.
