The fourth Republican debate ahead of the 2016 presidential election is scheduled to kick off Tuesday evening at 9 p.m. Eastern. Fox Business Network and the Wall Street Journal will co-host the debate, which will take place at the Milwaukee Theatre in Milwaukee. On the bill of moderators alongside Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo and Fox News' head business correspondent Neil Cavuto is Gerard Baker, editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal.

Here's everything to know about Baker ahead of the debate:

Appointed editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal in 2013, Baker has had a long, distinguished career as a journalist. When he stepped into the role, Baker replaced Robert Thomson, who in turn took on a new role as the Wall Street Journal's chief executive. Prior to his appointment, Baker served as the Wall Street Journal's deputy editor-in-chief from 2009 to 2013.

"I am honored and excited beyond words to be given the opportunity to lead the finest team in journalism," Baker said in a press release announcing his move into the role of editor-in-chief. Prior to the appointment, Baker served as the U.S. editor for the Times of London from 2004 to 2009, after working for six years at Financial Times, first as the Tokyo correspondent then Washington bureau chief and finally as an associate editor.

Good questions.

Faux News has burned them just recently, but like dogs returning to their own vomit here come the GOP-e—again!

GOP-e steers in a chute, moving along the bulls Trump and Cruz, they again consent to their own media slaughter by the Democrats’ MSM.

Isn’t it enough that they agree to be dominated in the Congress itself by a party out-of-power?
No.
Rinsed Penis & Co. also agree to be publicly humiliated in their forum, again, and by that party’s foreign Labour party soul mate.

That’s nothing. We let a Spanish firm count our ballots.
