[Politics] Republican debate: Haley and DeSantis exchange barbs in fight for second place

The fifth Republican presidential debate started and ended with barbed exchanges between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, with neither likely to have moved closer to eclipsing frontrunner Donald Trump in the Iowa caucus next week.

The Florida governor slamming Haley for running “to do her donors’ bidding” and the former UN ambassador calling DeSantis a habitual liar. The tone early in the Iowa debate matched prior GOP debates, which were frequently hostile, with candidates hurling personal attacks at one another.We’re committed to keeping our quality reporting open.
