"Nikki Haley's Surging Popularity Threatens Trump's Dominance in GOP Primaries"

The third GOP debate became heated as candidates sparred over various issues, including TikTok, abortion, entitlement reform, China, and the Ukraine war. Vivek Ramaswamy called on Biden to drop out, while Haley called for entitlement reform and criticized DeSantis on China. The candidates urged Netanyahu to destroy Hamas and criticized Iran. Ramaswamy also criticized RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel and the media. DeSantis expressed frustration with Republican losses, and Haley questioned Trump's current suitability as president. The debate lacked the drama of Trump's absence, with a lack of protesters and onlookers outside the venue.
