The least populous group of potential 2024 Republican presidential nominees.

They will engage in a discussion on Wednesday, one of their final chances to communicate with voters in this type of setting before the primaries start.

Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy have all met the more stringent requirements set by the Republican National Committee to participate in the debate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
