Both Donald Trump and Ben Carson will again be center stage during tonight's main stage GOP debate on Fox Business Channel, but the person feeling the most heat may be Jeb Bush.
The former Florida governor badly needs to put a poor debate performance last time behind him, Republicans say, as he tries to reset his campaign. To do so, he may try to take more effective, sustained punches against his home state rival, Marco Rubio.
The Florida senator will also be looking to build upon his own strong debate performance, as well rising Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
We'll be liveblogging the two hour main debate below. Check out our liveblog of the earlier undercard debate here.
9:09 p.m. Carson also says he would not raise the minimum wage because he wants people to still be able to enter the workforce, like he did, at a lower wage and work their way up. "People need to be educated on the minimum wage," he says. "Every time we raise the minimum wage the number of jobless people increases."
9:07 p.m. The first question goes to Trump — is he sympathetic to the plight of those who want the minimum wage raised? He says no, he's against it. "We are a country that is being beaten on every front, economically, militarily. there is nothing that we do now to win," Trump says. "We're not going to be able to compete against the world. I hate to say it but we have to leave it the way it is."
