Republican debate: 5 candidates set to face off in Miami for third GOP debate tonight
CBSN
A narrower field of Republican candidates will face off Wednesday in the third presidential debate of the primary cycle in Miami, with former President Donald Trump, who leads the field by a wide margin in the polls, still declining to participate.
The debate comes one day after Democrats had a strong showing in elections across the country, providing a snapshot of voters' attitudes one year from the presidential election. Ohio voters chose overwhelmingly to enshrine the right to an abortion in the state constitution, becoming the first GOP-led state to do so since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Virginia Democrats won control of the both chambers in the state's legislature, and Kentucky's Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear won reelection in his deep-red state.
The crisis in Israel and Gaza is also sure to come up in the debate, which is the first since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.
