On Thursday, August 6th, [Fox News](http://www.foxnews.com/live-coverage/fox-news-republican-presidential-primary-debate) 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](https://www.cato.org/events/cato2016-cato-scholars-live-tweet-foxs-top-10-candidates-republican-primary-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](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cato2016?src=hash)
