0:52Now PlayingRepublican presidential candidates on Wednesday unleashed barbs on the economy, abortion and crime in the first primary debate of the campaign season. But their attacks did little to reset the dynamics of the race because they largely left frontrunner Donald Trump untouched.
Even when moderators said they were going to address “the elephant not in the room,” most of the eight contenders assiduously avoided criticizing the former president, who opted not to participate in the debate and leads his opponents by an average of 40 percentage points in national polls.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, for one, tried to avoid repeated questions about Trump’s four indictments, falling back on talking points decrying the weaponization of the federal government. When pressed to say if he agreed with former vice president Mike Pence’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, to certify the results of the 2020 election, DeSantis would only say: “Mike did his duty, I got no beef with him.”
