Trump Maintains Lead in GOP Primary Despite Debate Absence; Haley, Christie Stand Out in Fourth Debate

As the race heats up, upcoming CNN debates in Iowa and New Hampshire could be decisive, with a potential DeSantis-Haley face-off in Iowa.

• Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican primary race despite skipping all debates, with his support growing after each debate and currently enjoying a near 50-point lead.
• Nikki Haley defended herself against accusations of corruption during the fourth GOP presidential primary debate, with fact-checking confirming her statements about her time at Boeing and her speaking engagements after leaving the Trump administration.
• Chris Christie, despite trailing in the polls, has been praised for his performance in the debate, particularly his attacks on Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy.
• Vivek Ramaswamy's standing in both national and Iowa polls has been eroding in recent weeks, and his favorability ratios among Republican voters have deteriorated after each debate performance.
• Upcoming CNN debates in Iowa and New Hampshire are expected to be crucial for the candidates, with the potential for a decisive DeSantis-Haley face-off in Iowa.
