MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — The Republican Party's jam-packed presidential class faces off Monday night in New Hampshire, where more than a dozen White House hopefuls aim to warm up for the first full-fledged debate of the primary season. The forum will bring together almost all of the 17 major Republican candidates for president for a debate-lite event, which unlike Thursday's nationally televised debate in Cleveland doesn't have a cut-off for participation. "It's a great event because it has all the candidates on stage at the same time," said Steve Duprey, New Hampshire's representative to the Republican National Committee.
