"Nikki Haley Refuses to Debate Without Trump, ABC News Cancels New Hampshire Republican Debate"
TL;DR
Nikki Haley has announced that she will not participate in the next Republican presidential debate unless former President Donald Trump takes part, prompting ABC News to cancel the event. This leaves Gov. Ron DeSantis as the only candidate committed to the debate in New Hampshire. Haley's decision also casts doubt on another New Hampshire debate scheduled for Sunday on CNN. Trump's spokesman called Haley a "desperate globalist," while DeSantis accused her of avoiding tough questions and running to be Trump's VP. The move comes after the last debate, where Haley didn't perform as well as expected, and DeSantis beat her for second place in Iowa.
