"DeSantis Gains Support as Trump Considers Skipping Debates"

An outside group supporting Ron DeSantis' bid for the Republican presidential nomination released an ad accusing Donald Trump of being too weak to debate in the upcoming Republican debate for 2024 hopefuls. While Trump has yet to announce his plan, the ad uses his own words against him, claiming he is afraid to debate. Trump, as the frontrunner, faces pressure to participate in the debate, but opponents have been trying to bait him into joining. DeSantis, who has struggled to gain traction in the race, needs a strong debate performance to catch up to Trump's lead in the polls.
