Summary

Seven candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination take the stage on Wednesday in Simi Valley for the second debate of the 2024 campaign. They’re expected to take questions on the looming government shutdown, the economy and the war in Ukraine – and make the case to donors and supporters that they can take on Donald Trump. The former president, who’s under four indictments and leads the primary field by a wide margin, will again skip the debate and plans instead to speak to an audience of current and former autoworkers in Detroit. We’ll recap the debate and hear your reactions. Guests: Phillip M. Bailey, national political correspondent, USA Today Lanhee Chen, GOP policy advisor; research fellow, the Hoover Institution; former candidate, CA State Controller; former policy director, Mitt Romney’s 2012 Scott Shafer, senior editor, KQED’s California Politics and Government desk; co-host, Political Breakdown Learn more about your ad choices.
