We turn now to the race for the White House. Former President Trump back in court in New York, skipping last night’s debate. And the four candidates who were on stage trailing Trump for the nomination by 40 to 50 points. Despite being so far behind, only one of them appeared willing to take on Trump.
Today, the split screened Republican presidential primary campaign in full display. In New York, front runner Donald Trump was in court, choosing to attend the civil fraud trial against his company. And in Iowa, Florida governor Ron DeSantis trying to find some momentum after the fourth Republican debate . But once again, Trump skipped the debate, leaving the candidates who did show up fighting each other instead of the front runner.
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christy seemed to be the only candidate willing to take Trump on at all, and the only one to address Trump’s comments earlier this week when he was asked if he would abuse power. Desantis instead spent much of the debate taking on former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who has been rising in the polls, though both of them trailed Trump by double digits.
Ron DeSantis was asked again today about Trump’s recent remark that he would be a dictator on his first day in office. And once again, he had nothing to say about that or, David, about any of Trump’s other recent controversial comments.
