Unlike last time, the parties mostly focused on foreign policy. According to CNN, most of these candidates agreed on supporting Israel and opposing Hamas, Iran...
However, there are still controversies. All eyes are on the two most prominent candidates: Nikki Haley (former Governor of South Carolina, former US Ambassador to the UN) and Ron DeSantis (Governor of Florida).
During the debate, both candidates traded accusations about foreign policy while serving as governors. However, the two candidates still found common ground in attacking Mr. Trump. While Mr. DeSantis said Mr. Trump was "a different person than he was in 2016," Ms. Haley suggested that Republicans should not pursue "past glories."
Mr. Trump spoke at the rally on November 8.
At the same time, Mr. Trump held a private rally with thousands of voters about a half-hour drive from the debate site. The stadium where Mr. Trump spoke has a capacity of about 5,200 people, according to the AP. His team said they wanted to use the event to show the former president’s strength, arguing that no one watched the other five candidates debate. In addition, the rally was an opportunity for Mr. Trump to consolidate his support among Latino voters in the Miami suburbs. Voters here have helped bring victories to Mr. Trump and other Republicans in recent elections.
In another development on the same day, Ivanka Trump, the daughter of former President Trump, appeared in court in a lawsuit related to the financial reports of the Trump Organization, according to AP. When asked about her role in preparing reports on her father's financial situation, Ivanka said she did not know about the reports of a personal nature, but only had access to authorized information.
