Nikki Haley Shines in Third GOP Debate Amid Ramaswamy's Controversial Performance; DeSantis Struggles for Traction Against Trump's Dominance
Haley's strong performance and Ramaswamy's controversial tactics mark the third GOP debate, while DeSantis struggles to gain ground against Trump's lead in the polls.
- Nikki Haley was praised for her strong performance in the third GOP debate, particularly in her handling of Vivek Ramaswamy's controversial tactics, which included personal attacks and accusations.
- Ramaswamy's aggressive approach, including a personal attack on Haley's daughter and a vow to ban TikTok, was met with boos from the audience and criticism from fellow candidates.
- Despite a solid performance in the debate, Ron DeSantis continues to struggle against Donald Trump's lead in the polls, with Trump refusing to participate in the debates and maintaining a significant lead.
- Ramaswamy's controversial performance has been described as 'political theater', with some suggesting it was more about gaining media attention than a serious bid for presidency.
- Despite criticism, Ramaswamy's campaign remains confident, with a major investment in the presidential race and over 200 events planned in Iowa in the lead up to the caucuses.
