"Republican Debates in Disarray: CNN and ABC Cancel, Nikki Haley Drops Out, Trump's Participation Uncertain"

CNN and ABC have both canceled their Republican debates ahead of the New Hampshire primary due to lack of participation, with only Gov. Ron DeSantis willing to debate and Nikki Haley insisting on Donald Trump's participation, which he refused. Despite finishing third in Iowa, Haley is positioning the race as a two-person contest between herself and Trump, while DeSantis, who focused on Iowa, is polling behind Haley in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Trump, leading in polls for both states, has shown no interest in debating either candidate, asserting himself as the inevitable nominee.

CNN to Host GOP Debates in Key Primary States

CNN will host Republican debates in Iowa and New Hampshire next month, marking the first events of their kind not sponsored by the Republican National Committee. The Iowa debate is scheduled for January 10, while the New Hampshire debate will take place on January 21. To qualify for participation, candidates must receive at least 10% in three separate national and/or state polls. The Republican National Committee has forbidden candidates from participating in events it does not sponsor, but may reconsider this rule. The question remains whether former president and 2024 frontrunner Donald Trump will participate, as he skipped the four debates sponsored by the RNC.

Columnist argues that Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy should drop out of the 2024 GOP race as they have no chance of winning the party's nomination and their presence only hinders other candidates.

The article also advises candidates like Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley to focus on why they would be a better option than Trump and potentially consider joining forces to increase their chances against the frontrunner.

Nikki Haley: A Mix of Good and Bad News

Nikki Haley has emerged as a strong contender in the Republican presidential race, running neck-and-neck with Ron DeSantis for second place behind Donald Trump. While Haley has gained momentum and secured endorsements, she still trails Trump by a significant margin. With Trump absent from the debates, Haley is likely to face increased scrutiny and attacks from her rivals. The upcoming debate in Alabama could be a make-or-break moment for DeSantis, who is hoping for a strong showing to stay in the race. Haley's performance in Iowa and New Hampshire will be crucial in determining her chances against Trump in her home state of South Carolina.

Anthony's lack of awareness about the impact of his lyrics and his attempt to distance himself from politics are criticized.
