Fox Business Network to host second GOP debate in January


On the heels of a debate that brought in 13.5 million viewers in November, Fox Business Network announced Tuesday it will sponsor a second Republican presidential primary debate on Jan. 14, 2016.
The debate, sanctioned by the Republican National Committee, will be held at the North Charleston Coliseum and Performing Arts Center in North Charleston, South Carolina. The network said as it gets closer to Jan. 14, it will release more information on moderators, entry criteria, and the line-up. This will be the sixth Republican debate of the season and the last before the Iowa caucuses. It will also take place two days after President Obama's final State of the Union address and three days before a Democratic debate.
