"Trump, DeSantis, and Haley Set for High-Stakes Iowa Events on Debate Night"

Former President Donald Trump, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have qualified for CNN's Republican presidential primary debate in Iowa on January 10. While Haley and DeSantis have confirmed their participation, Trump has not yet committed to attending. The debate is crucial as it precedes the Iowa caucuses and offers candidates a significant platform to influence voters. DeSantis has criticized Trump for avoiding debates, and the event will be moderated by CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Other candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, and Asa Hutchinson did not meet the qualification requirements for the debate.
