The Republican Party holds its second debate of the 2024 campaign tonight. Notably absent will be former President Donald Trump, who instead will travel to Michigan to talk to autoworkers.
Republican presidential candidates, from left, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. and former Vice President Mike Pence, stand at their podiums during a Republican presidential primary debate hosted by FOX Business Network and Univision on Wednesday.
He did, however, accuse some of the striking workers of playing the role of victims and said"victimhood is a choice."When asked about the scourge of mass shootings in America, many of which continue to take place in schools, the former vice president said he wants to expedite criminal penalties against perpetrators of these mass killings.Pence said, if elected, he would push for a federal expedited death penalty for mass shooters.
Trump has missed the last two debates because of his refusal to sign an RNC pledge stating that he will support whoever primary voters chose as their nominee in 2024. Ramaswamy warned that Democrats would"howl" at this idea and complain that it violates the U.S. Constitution. He argued that there is precedent for denying citizenship to some people born on U.S. soil, given that children of diplomats are not given citizenship.
Pence added that it was"a good thing" Ramaswamy pulled out of business in 2018 which he claimed was probably around the time Ramaswamy started voting for the first time. Ramaswamy has admitted to participating in U.S. elections later in his adult life.Trump went 30 minutes into his speech to Michigan autoworkers before mentioning the second GOP debate.
