Donald Trump
A growing sense of urgency hangs over Wednesday's Republican presidential debate as seven candidates fight for momentum on a stage that will not feature the race's front-runner. Donald Trump said he's so far ahead that it would only help his competitors if he participated.
The Republican contest has felt much more like a race for second place - or an audition for a Cabinet position or ambassadorship in Trump's next administration should he win.
Almost all of the candidates on stage raised their hands when asked if they'd support Trump's candidacy even if he were a convicted felon. Even Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was much more eager to go after Democratic President Joe Biden instead.
