"High-Stakes Showdown: Haley vs. DeSantis in GOP Debate for No.2 Spot"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley will face off in the fourth Republican presidential debate, vying for the No.2 spot as an alternative to frontrunner Donald Trump. With the Iowa nominating contest approaching, both candidates are seeking to establish themselves as the preferred choice for voters looking to move beyond Trump. DeSantis holds a slight advantage in national polls, but Haley has a lead in New Hampshire and South Carolina. The debate could be their last chance to make an impact before the Iowa contest.
