In the race to challenge Donald Trump for the GOP nomination, two candidates, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, are vying for a breakthrough that could position them as the sole challenger to the former president. With the Iowa caucuses just five days away, the stakes are higher than ever. Both candidates have been sharpening their attacks on each other and Trump, hoping to gain the upper hand in tonight's critical debate.
Haley's campaign released a new digital ad targeting DeSantis, accusing him of losing in line. Meanwhile, DeSantis focused his attacks on Haley, criticizing her priorities and claiming she cares more about the Ukraine border than the US-Mexico border. As the two rivals throw jabs at each other, they are also stepping up their criticism of Trump, who remains the frontrunner in the Republican primary.
