On Thursday, August 6th, Fox News will host two nationally‐​televised debates featuring candidates for the GOP nomination for the 2016 presidential elections.

The first of these debates, to be held at 5:00 p.m. EST, will feature those candidates who failed to meet the criteria necessary to appear in the main 9:00 p.m. debate, and will be an opportunity to hear from some of the lesser‐​known contenders.

Cato scholars will be on hand to live‐​tweet the debate, bringing insightful commentary and hard‐​hitting policy analysis to the discussion. Join the conversation on Twitter using #Cato2016
