Republican Presidential Primary Debate: Candidates Clash, Trump Attendees
Eight Candidates Participate, DeSantis, Haley Stand Out
Trump Presence Looms, Crowd Reactions Drown Out Moderators
Milwaukee, Wisconsin - The first Republican presidential primary debate of the 2024 election cycle featured eight GOP candidates who met the Republican National Committee (RNC) criteria for participation.
Among the candidates were former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who both delivered strong performances and are seen as potential frontrunners. Former President Donald Trump attended the debate but did not participate as a candidate.
The debate was marked by heated exchanges between the candidates, who clashed on policy and personal attacks. The crowd's reactions, including jeers and boos when candidates criticized Trump, at times drowned out the moderators from Fox News.
The first Republican debate of the 2024 presidential primary is a significant event in the race for the party's nomination. The candidates will continue to debate and campaign in the coming months as they seek to win the support of voters and secure the Republican nomination.
