NewsNation to Host Fourth GOP Primary Debate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with 7.5 Million Viewers

The third Republican primary debate drew 7.5 million viewers, a 21% decline from the second debate in September, according to Nielsen ratings. NewsNation is set to host the fourth GOP primary debate next month in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly as one of the three moderators. The previous debate, hosted by NBC, had significantly lower viewership compared to the earlier debates, with only 6.86 million viewers. The declining viewership has been attributed to the absence of Donald Trump, the front-runner in the race, from the debates. The drop in viewership has been seen as a potential advantage for Trump, with some describing the debates as 'miserable failures' without his presence.
