Republican presidential candidates will square off for the third time Wednesday night. The lineup looks similar to the last debate with the exception of Scott Walker, who dropped out Sept. 22.
The debate, hosted by CNBC, is expected to focus on business and the economy. It will last two hours, including commercials, and give each candidate a 30-second opening and closing statements. Those were demands made by Donald Trump and Ben Carson, who were unhappy with the three hour GOP debate last month. According to NPR's tallies, Trump has had the most speaking time in all the debates so far.
The four candidates lowest in the polls will take the stage at 6 p.m. ET for the "undercard" debate. The remaining 11 will debate in the prime time event at 8 p.m. ET. Check back at each commercial break to see NPR's updated speaking times.
Here's the tally for the 6 p.m. ET debate, as of the fourth commercial break:
Bobby Jindal: 9:12
Rick Santorum: 8:21
Lindsey Graham: 8:08
George Pataki: 7:18
