Eight candidates vying for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential race gathered on the debate stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Wednesday.
The frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, was not present. Instead, he released a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson on X, formerly known as Twitter."The last person... who stood in the middle of the stage and said, 'What's a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here?' was Barack Obama. And I’m afraid we’re dealing with the same type of amateur," said Chris Christie, former Governor of New Jersey.
About halfway through the debate, moderator Brett Baier of Fox News asked the candidates if they would support Trump as the Republican nominee if he was convicted in a court of law. All candidates said they would except Asa Hutchinson, former governor of Arkansas . The Biden-Harris campaign also released several statements throughout the debate, blaming Republicans for some of the country's worst economic decisions.
Robert Preuhs, professor of political science at Metropolitan State University Denver, believes that decision only benefits the former president.
