"DeSantis vs. Haley: The Race for Trump's Alternative Heats Up"

Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley are vying to become the main alternative to Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential race. The two candidates have engaged in a public feud, exchanging critical comments and competing for donors and endorsements. DeSantis accused Haley of supporting the admission of refugees from Gaza, which she denied. Trump and his allies are enjoying the split in the anti-Trump vote, while polls show DeSantis holding onto second place nationally, but Haley gaining ground in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Both candidates are also chasing the same donors and endorsers. The race remains unpredictable as other candidates, such as Tim Scott and Vivek Ramaswamy, have had moments of momentum.
