GOP Debate No. 4: How’d Megyn Kelly and Her Fellow Moderators Handle Trump’s Remaining Challengers?

NewsNation and The CW on Wednesday night hosted the fourth Republican primary debate, held in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Did one of Trump’s competitors for the GOP ticket make a case for the nomination on stage at the University of Alabama?

The two-hour melee — moderated by Sirius XM host Megyn Kelly (‘member her?), Free Beacon journalist Eliana Johnson and NewsNation anchor Elizabeth Vargas — featured four candidates: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. (Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who is currently polling at 0.5%, has not qualified to appear on stage since the first debate on Aug. 23.)
