All Against Trump / The last Republican presidential debate before the primaries
the final Republican presidential debate before the primaries

Only four candidates have qualified to participate in the final Republican presidential debate of the year, which takes place on Wednesday. Audiences will have a chance to hear more from each candidate before the primary election in early 2024.

Five presidential candidates participated in the last debate. Due to the stricter qualification rules, only 4 candidates will participate in this year's final debate. They will have two important goals, to outperform the other participants in the debate and to emphasize the difference between themselves and former President Donald Trump. The former governor of New Jersey, Chris Christy is one of the biggest critics of the former President Trump, but other candidates have not spared in their criticism of the leader of the Republican race.

"I think one of the difficulties of this campaign has been identifying issues that attract the attention of the anti-Trump wing within the party, or those who voted for Mr. Trump because he was the Republican candidate, but who are now open to the possibility of voting for another candidate, especially if Mr. Trump's position continues to weaken due to legal problems," says Andra Gillespie of Emory University.

Despite the legal troubles, which include 91 criminal charges, polls show Mr Trump has a wide lead over his Republican rivals.

Polls last week showed Mr Trump leading the Republican race with 60 per cent support, followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 11 per cent and former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley at 10 per cent. Mr. Trump will not even participate in the fourth Republican debate.

A new issue expected to be discussed in this debate is the release of hostages and the war between Hamas and Israel.

The candidates are aligned with the Republican Party's stance in support of Israel.

But they will try to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for not engaging in negotiations for the release of more American hostages. They may also have differences over war tactics.

"I think that the issue of a cease-fire or whether there should be a continuation of the cease-fire in exchange for the release of more hostages will be discussed. If this is not successful, then they must allow military operations in Gaza to continue, risking the possibility of the release of the hostages. So there will be discussions about bad tactics that could get the best result," says Aaron Kall from the University of Michigan.

The candidates will debate for two hours in front of Republican voters on Wednesday evening, while the first primary elections will be held in six weeks./VOA
