How To Watch Fourth Republican Debate, Will Trump Attend, Who Will Be On Stage And The Stock To Watch
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
The fourth Republican primary debate is scheduled for December 6, airing on NewsNation, owned by Nexstar Media Group (NXST), and streamed by Rumble Inc (RUM). The debate features four candidates and will be moderated by Megyn Kelly, Elizabeth Vargas, and Eliana Johnson. Donald Trump will not attend, opting for a Super PAC fundraiser instead. Nexstar could see increased viewership and advertising rates, while Fox Corporation (FOX, FOXA) and Comcast Corporation (CMCSA) aired previous debates.
