The third GOP debate begins with candidates competing on foreign policy and who could beat Trump

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:16:18 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — A smaller field of presidential candidates took the stage in Wednesday’s third Republican primary debate, where they were expected to focus on the Israel-Hamas war and try to make the case that they can cut into Donald Trump’s sizeable lead.Trump, meanwhile, again skipped the debate, instead holding a rally not far from the Miami debate site. He refused to participate due to his large lead in national and early state polls.With voting set to start in leadoff Iowa in January, no one has thus far been able to shake Trump’s dominance of the Republican primary. Many of the candidates have gone after each other hoping to break out as a viable alternative to the former president, emphasizing their differences on foreign policy but also ripping Trump for his criticisms of the Israeli prime minister and claims that a group attacking Israel was “very smart.”Republican strategist David Kochel, who has advised several past presidential campaigns, said beforehand that d...

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Justin Herbert was expected to be directing one of the NFL’s elite offenses this season. As the Los Angeles Chargers reach the midway point though, the offense remains a work in progress.The Chargers (4-4) go into Sunday’s game against the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions ranked 15th in the league in total offense, averaging 341 yards per game. “We are where we are right now. I think that this group is still figuring it out together, but I like the group that we are coaching and I like the way this group’s competing,” coach Brandon Staley said.The offense gained only 191 yards in last Monday’s 27-6 win over the New York Jets. It was the first time since 2018 the Chargers had fewer than 200 offensive yards, but only the fifth time in franchise history they won when it happened.An outing such as that certainly wasn’t expected when the Chargers hired Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator during the offseason. Moore’s system w...
