Five Republicans will appear on stage Wednesday night in Miami for the GOP's third presidential primary debate. The group is the smallest to qualify for the debate stage so far, but it's unclear whether the increased airtime for the shrinking group will fundamentally change the 2024 Republican presidential nomination fight.
Donald Trump remains the overwhelming front-runner in the race. He has decided to skip this debate, as he has the first two, citing his big polling advantage. Almost exactly one year after he launched his 2024 campaign, a clear Trump alternative has yet to emerge.
