Key Highlights from the 2024 Republican Presidential Debate

In the third 2024 Republican presidential debate, the candidates largely avoided criticizing Donald Trump, allowing him to remain unscathed. The debate focused on issues such as the race for second place, blaming Republicans for recent losses, differing views on abortion, a heated exchange between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis on China, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy attacking Haley and DeSantis. The candidates failed to make a lasting case against Trump, and there was no indication that any of them were closing the gap.
