MILWAUKEE, United States -- An entrepreneur crusading against progressive issues, a former UN ambassador, a former vice president and numerous sitting and former governors: these are the participants in the first debate for the 2024 Republican primaries.
All of them are hoping to shine in Wisconsin on Wednesday at 8:00 pm on a stage where the frontrunner, Donald Trump, will be most notable for his absence.
Since then, he has cautiously distanced himself from Trump and gained notoriety for a series of hard-right stunts on education, immigration and LGBTQ issues.He's made a fortune in biotech, calls environmental activists a"religious cult" and is enjoying a surprise surge in the Republican primaries: 38-year-old Vivek Ramaswamy hopes his provocative, incisive rhetoric will propel him all the way to the White House.
The rift between the two men, however, means that some Trump supporters still regard the former Indiana governor as a"traitor" for failing to keep the real estate tycoon in office in 2020.Two outspoken former governors -- Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson -- are the Republican candidates most critical of Trump.
