The Republican National Committee announced Monday evening that five GOP presidential candidates qualified for the third presidential debate: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.
