Paul and Fiorina Don’t Make Debate Cut

“The Republican debate stage will be noticeably smaller when the candidates gather in Charleston, S.C., on Thursday night for their first debate of the year,” the New York Times reports.

Fox Business Network, the host of the debate, “announced the qualifiers for the main stage, and Sen. Rand Paul and Carly Fiorina — who have both been slipping in recent polls — did not make the cut.”

Politico: “Paul and Fiorina are set to join Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum in the undercard — if Paul decides to participate.”
