5 Takeaways , From the First GOP Debate.
Candidates who participated in the first debate of the Republican presidential primary on Aug. 23 were Ron DeSantis, Doug Burgum, Chris Christie.
Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy and Tim Scott. .

for the $8 trillion of national debt he added during his
term and lambasted DeSantis, Scott and Pence
for voting to further raise the national debt.
Pence attacks Ramaswamy, The former vice president addressed Ramaswamy's previous comment that a president can't do everything.
Ramaswamy responded by saying he wasn't sure he
"exactly understood" Pence's comment, which prompted Pence to insultingly say, "I'll go slower next time.".
Now is not the time for on-the-job training. We don't need to bring in a rookie. We don't need to bring in people without experience, Mike Pence, via statement.
Candidates remain divided on abortion, Scott and Pence supported the idea of a 15-week
abortion ban, while DeSantis and Burgum think it
should be left up to individual states.
Christie and Hutchinson were the only candidates who said they wouldn't support Trump if he's convicted of any of the charges against him.
Someone has got to stop normalizing this conduct. Whether or not you believe the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of the
president of the United States, Chris Christie, via statement.
Ramaswamy and DeSantis would
not support additional Ukraine aid, Instead, both candidates believe more U.S. resources should be allocated to the U.S.-Mexico border.
