Donald Trump will
hold center stage as the party front-runner on the main stage on
Tuesday night in Las Vegas, CNN said, flanked by retired
neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Ted Cruz, who took the lead in an
Iowa opinion poll on Saturday.
Christie, following a surge in support in the early voting state
of New Hampshire, will return to the prime-time debate after
being bumped off it for a Fox Business debate last month, CNN
said.
Paul kept his spot thanks to a Fox News Iowa poll released
Sunday that showed him strong enough in that state, according to
CNN.Others on the main stage include Senator Marco Rubio, former
Florida Governor Jeb Bush, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and Ohio
Governor John Kasich, the network said.
Rand Paul, dipping in the latest opinion polls, had risked being
placed with the lower-polling contenders in the large Republican
field, which hold an earlier debate.
Those include Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor,
former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, former New York Governor
George Pataki and U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham.
