Haley and DeSantis Trade Accusations of Lying in Iowa
The fifth GOP presidential debate featured Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, who began by accusing each other of lying and criticizing Donald Trump. The debate, moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, took place in Des Moines, Iowa, shortly after Chris Christie suspended his presidential bid. Christie was overheard criticizing Haley before his withdrawal, predicting she would “get smoked.” No other Republican candidates from previous debates qualified, making DeSantis and Haley the primary focus. Meanwhile, GOP front-runner, Donald Trump, skipped the debate, opting to compete for attention at a Fox News forum in Iowa instead.
