GOP Primary Candidates Take Stage Without Donald Trump
Highlights from the First Republican Primary Debate
Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy Calls Climate Change Agenda a Hoax
The first Republican presidential primary debate of the 2024 election cycle featured eight GOP candidates who met the Republican National Committee's criteria to participate. The debate was held at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina, and was moderated by Fox News anchor Bret Baier. The candidates discussed a wide range of issues, including the economy, immigration, foreign policy, and climate change.
One of the most controversial moments of the debate came when businessman Vivek Ramaswamy called the climate change agenda a "hoax." Ramaswamy's comments drew criticism from several of the other candidates, as well as from environmental groups.
Despite Ramaswamy's controversial comments, the debate was generally seen as a positive event for the Republican Party. The candidates were able to articulate their different visions for the country, and the debate helped to raise the profile of several lesser-known candidates.
The Republican presidential primary is still in its early stages, and it is unclear who will ultimately emerge as the nominee. However, the first Republican primary debate was a significant event in the race, and it helped to set the stage for the months of campaigning ahead.
