In news from the Republican campaign trail, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina will not participate in this Thursday’s prime-time debate. Fox Business Network says the pair don’t have strong enough poll numbers to join the seven top candidates on the main stage. Paul said he will refuse the offer to take part in the so-called undercard debate before the main debate, citing the
“faulty analysis” used to determine participants.
