Haley spars with Republican rivals at 3rd primary debate as Trump still looms

This is unverified.

Trump ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., shared information in June she said she read in an FBI form about a bribery allegation involving Joe Biden, then vice president, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy executive.

The FBI filled out the form, known as an FD-1023, in June 2020 after hearing allegations from an informant. The FBI has said such forms contain unverified information. Multiple news outlets have reported that law enforcement have been unable to substantiate the allegations.

Haley punched back at Ramaswamy after he compared her to former Vice President Dick Cheney "in three-inch heels."

"I'd first like to say: They're five-inch heels, and I don't wear them unless you can run in them. The second thing that I will say is: I wear heels -- they're not for a fashion statement, they're for ammunition."

“We had Floridians that were over there after the attack,” DeSantis said. “He left them stranded they couldn't get flights out.”

That’s at odds with official State Department reports.

Reuters reported on Oct. 16 that the State Department had offered more than 4,000 seats on government-chartered transport to U.S. citizens and their immediate family. CNN put the figure higher, at nearly 5,000 seats. But both outlets reported that many of those transports left less than half full, the government said.

Christie, asked why he should lead the party rather than Trump, largely focused on the global challenges the U.S. is facing, including the Israel-Gaza war and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"Tonight, we need to decide which president is going to be the one to tackle the big issues. Who's going to make this country look once again, not just inward, but look outward at the world and say, 'America is the country, the indispensable nation, that makes this a safer world'?" Christie said. "And in a safer world, American innovation, American hard work has always been the thing that has driven our country to greater things. I'm going to be the president who will do those big things."

On Trump, Christie said at the end of his answer, "Anybody who's gonna be spending the next year and a half of their life focusing on keeping themselves out of jail and courtrooms cannot lead this party." (Trump denies wrongdoing.)
