"DeSantis Faces Rivals' Knives in High-Stakes Debate"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is facing increased competition from other candidates in the upcoming GOP primary debate, as his numbers slip in some polls. With former President Trump likely to skip the debate, DeSantis is the frontrunner on the stage and will have to fend off attacks from other candidates.

"Fox Business Announces Second GOP Primary Debate"

Fox Business has been chosen by the Republican National Committee to host the second GOP presidential primary debate, which will take place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute in Simi Valley, California. This decision follows Fox networks' selection to televise the first two debates. Former President Donald Trump has expressed criticism towards Fox News and has yet to commit to participating in the upcoming debates. The committee aims to reach a wide range of Republican voters who regularly watch Fox's stations. The moderators for the second debate have not been announced, and the qualification threshold for candidates has been raised, potentially resulting in a smaller group of participants.
