Eight Republican presidential candidates are preparing to descend on Milwaukee for the first GOP primary debate Wednesday night.

The event, hosted by Fox News, will be one of the clearest opportunities yet for candidates to separate themselves from the pack in a race that has largely been dominated by former President Trump.

Trump won’t attend Wednesday’s event. He’s instead sitting for an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. And on Thursday, he said he will turn himself in to authorities in Georgia, where he faces charges in Fulton County’s case alleging 2020 election interference.
