GOP presidential campaigns see format for two-hour debate on Aug. 23; second date named by RNC
The Aug. 23 debate in Milwaukee will be hosted by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum and start at 9 p.m. Eastern/8 p.m. Central.
Candidates will have one minute for each answer, 30 seconds for each follow-up and 45 seconds for a closing statement. There will be two commercial breaks per hour running three to four minutes each, during which candidates can use the restroom or touch up makeup. It is unclear if Mr. Trump, the front-runner, plans to show up for the event. He used the debate stage to great effect in 2016 but says he might not want to debate, given his wide lead and fears of bias by the moderators.
