“The 2024 Republican primary is entering a fraught and caustic new phase, as Donald Trump’s wide lead remains undiminished, the days until voting begins dwindle and his rivals take aim at each other as much as at him,” the New York Times reports.
“Ahead of Wednesday’s debate in Miami, the campaigns of Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott each put out memos on the state of the race that knifed each other’s viability, skills and standing, in a bid to present themselves as the only true alternative to Mr. Trump, the man who refuses to debate them.”
“The Trump campaign put out a memo, too. It ignored his primary rivals entirely, and instead previewed his run against President Biden, one year out from the general election.”
