Five Republican Presidential Candidates Square Off in Third Televised Debate Ahead of Primary Voting
Five Republican presidential candidates faced off in the third televised debate Wednesday night in Miami, Florida, discussing topics from fracking and fentanyl to the economy and Donald Trump.

Bob Vander Plaats, a prominent Christian conservative leader in Iowa, said the real missed opportunity of the debate was the candidates’ failure to make a case against Donald Trump. With voting in the Republican presidential primary beginning in two months, the candidates must make a strong case for their candidacy if they want to win the nomination.
