Only eight candidates will take the stage in Milwaukee tonight for Fox Business Network's presidential debate.

Ben Carson will likely have to answer to questions about exaggerating some of his personal history. Marco Rubio, who is rising in the polls, goes into the debate with a growing target on his back. And Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush may be the ones trying to take aim at Rubio.

Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee have been bumped down to the earlier debate for candidates who didn't make the polling cut-off.

NPR's Domenico Montanaro speaks with Here & Now's Robin Young about the upcoming debate.

Note: The debate will run from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern on Fox Business Network. Viewers can stream the debate at foxbusiness.com without having a cable subscription. The undercard debate will run from 7 to 8 p.m. Eastern.
