The first Republican presidential debate went as one would have expected.
rejected the idea of stricter abortion laws. Abortion became the focal point for both the Wisconsin Supreme Court election and the recent Ohio vote on a constitutional amendment to increase the vote requirement to 60 percent to approve constitutional amendments. The results indicate that this is a losing battle for Republicans, and it will continue to be on the ballot for the remainder of this election cycle.
Additionally, due to their narrow majority in the House of Representatives, Republicans cannot afford to lose any incumbent seats, and they must pick up more seats among the roughly 30 swing seats that solidify the House majority every two years.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - AUGUST 23: Republican presidential candidates , former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy participate in the first debate of the GOP primary season hosted by FOX News at the Fiserv Forum on August 23, 2023 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.These dilemmas place the Republican Party in a difficult situation.
In September, House Republicans have the opportunity to be hardliners on fiscal policy. They are expected to be the adults in the room, to force Democrats, amid a period of high inflation, to explain why more government spending is profitable for the country. Democrats are rarely forced to explain their positions, but this time Republicans have the American taxpayers' support behind them to press the other side of the aisle on their reasons for continuing a limitless spending spree.
So what will House Republicans do? Will they give in to the Democrats' demands for more spending? Or will they force Democrats to come to the table to make concessions? The GOP must capitalize on the opportunity presented to them to show independents they can make the hard decisions.
