"Challenging Trump: GOP Hopefuls Seek Spotlight at 2nd Debate"

During the second Republican primary debate held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, seven GOP presidential hopefuls attempted to steal the spotlight from former President Donald Trump. The candidates engaged in combative and unfocused exchanges, with some taking jabs at Trump's absence. However, their attacks fell flat, and Trump's lead remained unchallenged. The debate touched on various topics, including race, gender identity, immigration, and labor support. Despite the spectacle, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the race, as Trump continues to dominate the field.
