Summary of the Republican debate

In the fourth and final Republican debate, former President Donald Trump did not participate, leaving former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswami, and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie on stage. The moderators pressed the candidates on their views of Trump, and most of the candidates focused their attacks on each other, with Christie criticizing Trump as unfit. The debate covered various topics, including Trump's fitness for office, the war in Israel, the fentanyl crisis, gender transition surgery, China, cryptocurrency, and immigration policy. Haley was the target of attacks, DeSantis touted his conservative record in Florida, Ramaswami veered into conspiracy theories, and Christie delivered direct and confrontational answers. Overall, the debate had little impact on the Republican primary, with Trump remaining the frontrunner.
