Seven Republican candidates will take part in the second 2024 Republican presidential debate on Wednesday in California. Donald Trump will skip the event and give a speech in Detroit to autoworkers.
Following on from last month's debate in Wisconsin, the second showdown will take place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute in Simi Valley, California, about 45 miles north of Los Angeles.
Former President Donald Trump, the runaway front-runner in the nominating contest according to opinion polls, said he would skip the debates and did not appear at the first one. The seven candidates set to be on stage are: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, biotech investor Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.
The Florida governor delivered a solid, if not flashy, performance in last month's debate but was frequently overshadowed by Ramaswamy. DeSantis will be looking for some breakout moments this time around to rejuvenate his candidacy.With Trump currently crushing his rivals by roughly 40 percentage points in national polls, the Republican nominating contest has become a fight for second place.
