GOP rivals tangle over foreign policy in tense 3rd debate: Recap

Five Republican candidates faced off Wednesday in the third GOP presidential debate in Miami, sparring over issues including foreign policy, abortion and the economy.

Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy clashed several times on stage, with the former U.N. ambassador telling the entrepreneur to “leave my daughter out of your voice” and calling him “scum” after he mentioned that Haley’s daughter has used TikTok.

The rivals were joined by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.).

Front-runner former President Donald Trump counter-programmed the debate, holding a rally nearby.

Here’s a recap of the fiery debate night.
