A policy-focused debate still featured some bickering

Republican candidates still found time to criticize each other during a policy-focused debate. A recent campaign feud between Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley carried over to the debate stage. Haley also took issue when Vivek Ramaswamy mentioned her daughter using TikTok. Ramaswamy opened the debate by tearing into the mainstream media, as well as the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.
