The fourth GOP primary debate on Wednesday night will feature the smallest field yet — with just four candidates qualifying for the showdown in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, biotech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie all met the minimum benchmarks for the debate, the Republican National Committee announced Monday night.

The debate will be held Wednesday at 7 p.m. CT at the University of Alabama.

It will be hosted by NewsNation and moderated by anchor Elizabeth Vargas, podcast host and SiriusXM radio personality Megyn Kelly and editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon Eliana Johnson.

The RNC required candidates to get at least 6% support in two national polls, up from 4% — or 6% support in one national poll and one early state poll from two separate early states, including Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
