A shrunken Republican field will meet Thursday evening in Detroit in the first debate since the Super Tuesday contests put frontrunner Donald Trump further down the path to the Republican nomination.
The billionaire will be joined by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson will not attend after signaling he will drop out of the race.
The debate airs at 9 p.m. ET on Fox News, and you can follow it along here with the Insider team.
Here are a few things to watch:
The moderators: The most intriguing part of tonight's debate may have nothing to do with the candidates on the stage. Trump skipped the last Fox News debate - a few days before the Iowa caucus - because of a running feud with Megyn Kelly. She'll be moderating tonight's event, and Trump can expect a tough line of questioning echoing the campaign's first debate.
Rubio on the attack: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio unleashed a new wave of attacks against Trump over the last two weeks, casting him as a "con artist" who is trying to bamboozle the Republican Party into backing him. A vote for Trump, he tells crowds, is a vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton. But the fresh assaults have done little to buoy his campaign - he went 1-for-11 on Tuesday only picking up a victory in Minnesota's caucuses. How much does he escalate the attacks tonight?
Trump the Unifier: The billionaire tried to present himself as the only candidate who can unite the fractured GOP after Super Tuesday's victories, holding a victory rally/press conference after a spate of wins where he argued he would grow the party and be the best candidate to take on Clinton. Faced with a wave of fresh assaults from Cruz and Rubio, he has a choice: counter the attacks or look beyond the Republican field to November.
