Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
- On Wednesday night, the Republican Party held its fourth Presidential Primary debate—featuring Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Gov. Chris Christie, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. During one notable exchange, Ramaswamy attacked Haley on her foreign policy positions explaining, “you can put lipstick on a Dick Cheney, it’s still a fascist neocon.”
- While appearing on CBS News, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said that she believes the government should avoid interceding in gender reassignment procedures for children. Should the government protect children against irreversible procedures even in the event the child’s parent endorses the decision? During Wednesday night’s Republican Presidential Primary debate Gov. Ron DeSantis attacked Haley for her response—exclaiming that the government should be protecting children from what ostensibly amounts to a form of child abuse.
- During last night’s debate, moderator Megyn Kelly hilariously asked Chris Christie why he remains in the presidential race when he seemingly has no pathway to victory according to all polling.
- Following Wednesday’s Republican Presidential Debate, an NBC News Meet the Press special featured a group of voters in Atlanta—18 of the 27 voters said they believed Donald Trump won the debate despite not even participating.
- Could Chris Christie be on the verge of endorsing Nikki Haley for president?
