the next GOP presidential debate was canceled after Nikki Haley, 51, said she would only participate if former President Donald Trump does. Her decision made Florida Governor Ron DeSantis the only candidate of the three willing to take part in the debate.The debate was planned for Thursday, just days before the New Hampshire primary. On Monday, the former governor and US ambassador to the United Nations placed third in the Iowa caucuses. DeSantis came in second, and Trump finished in first by a wide margin.While campaigning, Haley argued that she was the best chance for Republicans to defeat Biden in November based on survey data. While Trump may have GOP voters in his pocket, Haley has attracted both Republicans, independents, and crossover Democrats.
