As the 2016 presidential race draws near, the 17 hopefuls for the Republican nomination will take center stage Sept. 16 on CNN.
Following the first debate, it was clear that Donald Trump is the front-runner for the Republicans.
Dr. Ben Carson and Jeb Bush are the next two candidates who follow the real estate mogul.
“Long-shots” like Chris Christie and Rand Paul have vowed to get more aggressive and be more assertive than their previous debate performance.
While the first debate had two separate groups of candidates arguing, the Sept. 16 debate will only have candidates who rank in the top 10 between Aug. 7 and Sept. 8 polling.
The debate is set for 7 p.m. central standard time in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
