Third debate: Watching remotely easier than getting a ticket for GOP debate in Miami on Nov. 8
Watching remotely will be easier than getting a ticket for the Republican presidential debate in Miami on Nov. 8.
The third and likely final encounter of GOP White House hopefuls at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts will be broadcast nationally by the NBC network.
The two-hour debate begins at 8 p.m. EST. Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley are expected to be on stage but there will be fewer candidates than at the previous two encounters in Wisconsin and California.
Former President Donald Trump, who leads in the polls by wide margins, will not be there. He will be holding a rally about 11 miles away in Hialeah.
Third GOP debate in Miami moderated by NBC's Lester Holt, Kristen Welker, Hugh Hewitt
The event, hosted by the Republican National Committee, will be moderated by Lester Holt, Kristen Welker, and Hugh Hewitt. It also will be live-streamed by the online site Rumble.
The platform drew scorn from the gender tolerance advocacy group UltraViolet which accused Rumble "of extremist rhetoric and content that promotes misogyny, antisemitism, and racism." The group called on NBC to cancel the program.

Controversy aside, your best bet to take in the debate is on NBC, Salem Radio or Rumble. Tickets are not sold to the public, but rather distributed to RNC officials, the participating candidates, VIPs like GOP donors, campaign surrogates and others.
The Adrienne Arsht Center seats just under 3,000 people.
