The GOP Hopefuls Take The Debate Stage For The Third Time

The GOP Hopefuls Take The Debate Stage For The Third Time

By NPR

Five Republican presidential hopefuls faced off in Miami on Wednesday night for the third GOP debate, the last one of 2023.

Former President Donald Trump will, once again, not be on the stage. Instead, he'll be at a rally in a suburb of Miami nearby.

The debate comes as many states went to the polls – Kentucky re-elected their Democratic governor, Democrats flipped Virginia's state house and Ohio voted to enshrine the right to abortion in its Constitution. Foreign policy is expected to dominate the debate as Israel's war on Gaza enters the fourth week.

We recap the night and discuss what the candidates said about issues like abortion, the economy and foreign policy.
