Blitzer will be joined by CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash, conservative radio show host Hugh Hewitt, as well as Telemundo anchor Maria Celeste Arraras.

The debate, hosted by CNN, Telemundo and the Salem Media Group, will take place at the University of Houston two days after Nevada’s Republican caucuses.

The Super Tuesday debate was previously supposed to be hosted by NBC News, but after the CNBC debate, the RNC took the debate away and subsequently awarded it to CNN.
