Donald Trump’s absence was felt at the year’s first Republican presidential debate, but some of his imitators made it.
Republican presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley participate in the first debate of the GOP primary season Aug. 23, 2023, in Milwaukee.The 38-year-old entrepreneur and graduate of Harvard University and Yale Law School is a new face in politics, national or otherwise, as his opening line suggested with an indirect reference to another once-rising new face from a campaign long ago.
A double shot. But Ramaswamy was ready with a counter-zinger, however weak. “Give me a hug just like you did to Obama,” he said, “and you’ll help elect me just like you did to Obama.” He now faces a total of 91 felony charges across four prosecution efforts, including two federal cases. “Unprecedented” no longer adequately describes the historic majesty of his alleged offenses. Yet, as long as his polling numbers seem to rise with each new indictment, we may not see him onstage again until the GOP convention in Milwaukee.
But Haley’s performance seemed to be the most impressive, even if it has yet to help her climb out of single digits in polls. The former South Carolina governor’s experience showed in her frankness and knowledgeable grasp of the issues. Significantly, she also called out her own party for losing moderates by taking extreme positions on abortion.
