Second Republican Presidential Debate Sparks Fiery Confrontations

The second Republican Presidential debate included attacks on the Biden administration, but was missing Donald Trump, the current front runner for the party's Presidential nomination. Some candidates criticized Trump for not participating and accused him of being afraid. The California Republican Party's fall convention will feature Donald Trump as a keynote speaker and focus on doubling down on its embrace of the former president. The party aims to tap into its growing influence on national politics and prepare for the 2024 congressional elections. The second Republican debate was marked by candidates talking over each other and clashing on various issues, including manufacturing, employment, inflation, federal spending, and healthcare.
