The first debate is scheduled for Jan. 10 at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and the second debate is planned for Jan. 21 at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire. The Iowa debate will take place just days before Iowa Republicans head to caucus on Jan. 15 and the New Hampshire debate will be held shortly before the Jan. 23 primary election. The latest Republican presidential primary debate, held Wednesday evening, included former New Jersey Gov. For the Jan. 21 debate in New Hampshire, GOP politicians will need to get at least 10% in three national polls of likely Republican voters with at least one of the qualifying polls focused on GOP voters likely to cast a ballot in the New Hampshire primary. Additionally, invitations will be sent to the top three GOP presidential primary candidates following the Iowa caucuses.
