SIMI VALLEY, California — Republican presidential candidates are set to gather onstage at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Wednesday night for a second time without the front-runner, former President Donald Trump, participating.
DESANTIS UNDER PRESSURE TO GET OFF THE ROPES IN SECOND REPUBLICAN DEBATE
His absence could give away to another rival to shine forth."It doesn't really matter if Trump is not there because really they're playing for a second," Sarah Chamberlain, president and CEO of the Republican Main Street Partnership, told the Washington Examiner."Trump is in first, and he's clearly in first, but if his indictments don't go well, then somebody on that stage needs to be a strong second, ready to step in at this point.
A recent CNN-University of New Hampshire poll showed DeSantis losing support in the Granite State, home to the first GOP primary in 2024. The poll showed DeSantis at 10% among New Hampshire GOP primary voters, a 13 percentage point decrease from when the poll was conducted in July. Attention will also surround Haley, who seized on a solid first debate performance and is attempting to siphon off enough votes from Trump, DeSantis, and the rest of the field to become the top alternative to the former president. An NBC News poll on Monday showed Haley at 7% support, a 3 percentage point increase from when the poll was conducted in June.
Other candidates facing pressure to step up include Sen. Tim Scott , who will likely need to have a better debate performance this go-around. During the first debate, the South Carolina was criticized for his meekness. However, Scott's campaign has emphasized that one debate performance will not determine the winner of the GOP primary.
