In Miami, NBC News hosted the most sober and restrained of the three Republican presidential debates thus far. Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy and Chris Christie feuded and found common ground over a variety of topics, including border security, abortion access and social security reforms. But there was drama nonetheless, particularly between Haley and Ramaswamy, who the former UN ambassador at one point called “scum”. Donald Trump, who has an overwhelming lead among polls for the nomination, once again skipped the get-together, and reportedly will not attend the fourth debate set for next month in Alabama.

The manager of Joe Biden’s re-election campaign Julie Chavez Rodriguez released a statement lumping the five Republicans who participated in tonight’s debate with Donald Trump, saying there is no daylight between their policies:

Normally, after you lose, you take a moment to reflect and course correct. But in Donald Trump’s MAGA Republican Party, apparently you double down on the same extreme agenda that was soundly rejected last night in elections across the country. That’s what we witnessed tonight: the entire Republican field once again embracing Donald Trump’s losing and extreme MAGA agenda of banning abortion, cutting Social Security and Medicare, and rigging the economy for the ultra-wealthy at the expense of working Americans. In fact, the only thing that the American people agree with these MAGA Republicans on is that their extreme agenda has left them reeling as ‘a party of losers.’

A year from now, Americans will face a clear choice — between President Biden, who is focused on the issues impacting you, and MAGA Republicans, whose policy platform is to make things worse for you by taking away your freedoms. We’ll spend the next year making sure every American knows just that.

Tonight’s debate is taking place in the wake of yesterday’s election, where Republican attempts to curb abortion were turned down by voters in Ohio and Virginia. Indeed, the GOP has been on a losing streak at the ballot box on the issue ever since Roe v Wade was struck down in June 2022, and in response to a question on her abortion policy, Nikki Haley called for something of a ceasefire.

“What I’ll tell you is, as much as I’m pro-life, I don’t judge anyone for being pro-choice, and I don’t want them to judge me for being pro-life. So when we’re looking at this, there are some states that are going more on the pro-life side, I welcome that. There are some states that are going more on the pro-choice side. I wish that wasn’t the case, but the people decided,” Haley said.

She also noted the long odds any nationwide abortion restriction would face getting through Congress and signed by the president, and concluded by appealing for politicians to back off the issue:

So let’s find consensus. Let’s agree on … how we can ban late-term abortions. Let’s make sure we encourage adoptions and good quality adoptions. Let’s make sure we make contraception accessible. Let’s make sure that none of these state laws put a woman in jail or give her the death penalty for getting an abortion. Let’s focus on how to save as many babies as we can, and support as many moms as we can and stop judgment. We don’t need to divide America over this issue anymore.

What we need to do is stop using our military to protect somebody else’s border halfway around the world, when we’re short right here at home.

n

Get serious about protecting this border and then the other thing that hasn’t been discussed as the northern border, I’m the only candidate on this stage, as far as I’m aware, who has actually visited the northern border. There was enough fentanyl that was captured just on the northern border last year to kill 3 million Americans. So we got to just skate to where the puck is going, not just where the puck is. Don’t just build the wall, build both walls.

I’ll build a wall, but we’re going to designate the cartels to be foreign terrorist organizations or something similar to that. And we’re going to authorize the use of deadly force. We’re going to have maritime operations to interdict precursor chemicals going into Mexico, but I’ll tell you this, if someone in the drug cartels is sneaking fentanyl across the border, when I’m president, that’s going to be the last thing they do. We’re going to shoot him stone cold dead.

No, I don’t think we should give them cash. I think we should give them the equipment, the ammunition to win. And I’ll tell you if Biden had done it when they first asked for it, this war would be over. But let’s also remember this – when you left Afghanistan in shambles and left them with a ton of weapons and money, it’s not that we left it’s how we left.

When you look at Ukraine, don’t think for a second now everybody wants to move away from Ukraine. They’ll want to move away from Israel a year from now. America can never be so arrogant to think we don’t need friends. After 9/11, we needed a lot of friends. Now is the time to get partnerships.

The American people are frustrated that they do not have a president who reminds us and tells us where’s the accountability. Where are those dollars? How are those dollars being spent? We need those answers for us to continue to see the support for Ukraine and at the same time I would say that the package … that’s been offered by the president for Ukraine and Israel, that’s a wrong approach. We need to focus specifically on providing Israel with the $14 billion that they need so that we show the world that we are 100% undeniably standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel. And then, as we turn away from that direct support for Israel, we should go to our southern border and close our southern border with the resources necessary.

I believe that we have sleeper terrorist cells in America. Thousands of people have come from Yemen, Iran, Syria and Iraq. If we’re going to deal with the national security emergency at our border, we have to do it now.

Good evening, US politics blog readers, and thank you for joining us as we cover the third debate of the Republican presidential nomination process. This evening at 8pm eastern time in Miami, five candidates – Florida governor Ron DeSantis, former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, senator Tim Scott and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie – will take the stage for yet another unusual debate among the GOP’s presidential aspirants. What makes tonight’s faceoff, and the two others that came before, so strange is the absence of the far-and-away frontrunner for the nomination, Donald Trump. He wasn’t there for the first debate in Milwaukee, nor for the second debate in Simi Valley, California, and won’t be in Miami for tonight’s showdown, and paid no apparent penalty for it – poll after poll shows him with a massive lead for the nomination.

‘I do not choose anybody for being pro-choice’, Haley says, arguing, ‘We needn’t divide America over this challenge anymore’

“What I’ll inform you is, as a lot as I’m pro-life, I don’t choose anybody for being pro-choice, and I don’t need them to evaluate me for being pro-life. So once we’re taking a look at this, there are some states which can be going extra on the pro-life facet, I welcome that. There are some states which can be going extra on the pro-choice facet. I want that wasn’t the case, however the individuals determined,” Haley stated.

She additionally famous the lengthy odds any nationwide abortion restriction would face getting by way of Congress and signed by the president, and concluded by interesting for politicians to again off the problem:

So let’s discover consensus. Let’s agree on … how we are able to ban late-term abortions. Let’s make sure that we encourage adoptions and good high quality adoptions. Let’s make sure that we make contraception accessible. Let’s guarantee that none of those state legal guidelines put a lady in jail or give her the demise penalty for getting an abortion. Let’s concentrate on tips on how to save as many infants as we are able to, and help as many mothers as we are able to and cease judgment. We don’t have to divide America over this challenge anymore.

Ron DeSantis stated he needs to impose sanctions on Mexican cartels, a transfer that the Biden administration made yesterday.

The Biden administration imposed sanctions on 13 members of the Sinaloa cartel, and 4 of the Sonora cartel, accusing them of trafficking fentanyl.

The sanctions minimize them off from the US banking system, and blocked their US belongings.

Ramaswamy helps partitions on borders with each Mexico and Canada

Like many Republicans, Vivek Ramaswamy stated he wished to construct a wall on the southern border. However he didn’t cease there.

Ramaswamy says he additionally needs to construct a wall on the northern border with Canada, arguing it’s additionally a supply of fentanyl trafficking. From his remarks:

What we have to do is cease utilizing our army to guard any person else’s border midway all over the world, once we’re quick proper right here at residence.

Get severe about defending this border after which the opposite factor that hasn’t been mentioned because the northern border, I’m the one candidate on this stage, so far as I’m conscious, who has truly visited the northern border. There was sufficient fentanyl that was captured simply on the northern border final 12 months to kill 3 million People. So we bought to simply skate to the place the puck goes, not simply the place the puck is. Don’t simply construct the wall, construct each partitions.

DeSantis, once more, requires taking pictures drug smugglers ‘stone chilly useless’

Ron DeSantis as soon as once more proposed hardline, legally doubtful strategies to enhance safety on the US border with Mexico, together with taking pictures drug smugglers “stone chilly useless”.

He had made the same comment at a earlier debate, and repeated it simply now:

I’ll construct a wall, however we’re going to designate the cartels to be overseas terrorist organizations or one thing much like that. And we’re going to authorize the usage of lethal drive. We’re going to have maritime operations to interdict precursor chemical substances going into Mexico, however I’ll inform you this, if somebody within the drug cartels is sneaking fentanyl throughout the border, once I’m president, that’s going to be the very last thing they do. We’re going to shoot him stone chilly useless.

Scott joins calls to ‘shut our southern border’

The debaters are debating once more, and one factor’s for positive: the salvoes between Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley however, this faceoff is a way more sober affair than the earlier two.

We should always shut our southern border. For $10 billion, we are able to shut our southern border. For an extra $5 billion, we might use the at the moment out there army expertise to surveil our southern border to cease fentanyl from crossing our border.

The controversy is now taking one other business break!

Shortly earlier than it did so, Ron DeSantis earned himself some chuckles by making mild of his state’s place as a vacation spot for a lot of retirees.

“Effectively, look, as governor of Florida, I do know a number of individuals on Social Safety and I do know it’s vital,” DeSantis remarked.

The controversy has entered wonky territory, because the candidates weigh in on whether or not they would reform the Social Safety old-age profit.

Reforming this system is taken into account one of the vital perilous subjects in Washington, a lot in order that it’s sometimes called the “third rail” of US politics. However Social Safety is projected to be heading in direction of insolvency, and Chris Christie proposed elevating the retirement age and slicing off high-earners from accessing it:

The very fact is on Social Safety, bear in mind why it was established. It was established as a security web program to guarantee that nobody would develop previous on this nation in poverty. That’s what we bought to get again to – wealthy individuals shouldn’t be amassing Social Safety.

Nikki Haley made the same argument, whereas saying the retirement age, at the moment 65, needs to be recalibrated to “mirror extra of life expectancy. It doesn’t do this now.”

Most candidates appeared to agree that TikTok is dangerous, they usually all wish to ban it. Each Republicans and Democrats within the Capitol appear to agree on this as properly.

Montana grew to become the first state within the US to fully ban the app in Might, primarily based on the argument that the Chinese language authorities might acquire entry to person info from TikTok. However in authorized proceedings difficult the ban, a federal choose expressed skepticism, saying that Montana had not supplied proof to debunk TikTok’s assertion that it doesn’t share US person knowledge.

Greater than half of US states and the federal authorities have banned the app on official gadgets.

Content material creators have stated that whole bans would hurt companies and violate free speech rights.

The snit between Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy is healthier watched than learn.

Thus, you’ll be able to see the change, and listen to the viewers’s gasps, beneath:
