The Republican 2024 hopefuls gathered in Simi Valley, California Wednesday for a very combative second debate. While the moderators asked mostly substantive questions, they failed to control a group intent on getting in the punches the candidates didn’t land last time.
Competition for the most memorable moment in the debate is stiff between Chris Christie bawdily saying that President Biden is “sleeping with a member of the teachers union” — followed by Mike Pence making the most uncomfortable sex joke on record — and Nikki Haley telling Vivek Ramaswamy “every time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber.”
Christie and Ron DeSantis took a few more whacks at Donald Trump than last time, mostly for his debate absenteeism. It was loud, it was long, it had me hiding my face in the collar of my sweater.
Catch up below:
Logistics:
- The event will begin at 9 p.m. ET and beam in from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum
- Trump will attempt to counter-program it with an 8 p.m. ET speech from Michigan

When the candidates were asked if they’d still support Trump, even if it was discovered he had sold the nation’s nuclear launch codes to Putin, all their hands immediately shot up in the air.
Then Trump blessed this day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.…
Only to be roused prematurely by yet another pending indictment and word of yet more actionable fraud allegations against his biggest and most beautiful creation. (ed.)
They are all idiots.
Challenging Trump is how NOT to get the nomination…
Trump’s legal troubles may preclude his holding the nomination, but his ego will ensure to tank anyone who announced prior to his abdication…
Hilarity ensues…
I simply love Kate Riga’s writing.
She really blings out the best.
