Of the nine Republican candidates invited to the debate, eight have held elected office. More than half the 2024 GOP candidates have law degrees, though not all have practiced law in recent years. Among the nine Republican candidates invited to debate, only DeSantis has military service, having risen to lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy. No other GOP candidate had more than seven fact-checks in 2023.
