The seven candidates who qualified for the second Republican presidential debate took the stage last night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. After the first debate proved to have an evident impact on voters, with many polls showing South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley’s numbers rising while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took a hit, many Americans anticipated how last night’s debate would continue shaping the Republican presidential field.

On the Rundown, FOX Business' Stuart Varney says this debate will have all the candidates "pressing hard to make a breakthrough." On the podcast, he explains how this debate will give candidates a chance to discuss big-picture issues for the economy and his plans to encourage more substantive debate between the contenders on stage.   The latest FOX News poll shows that former President Donald Trump remains the party's frontrunner, with nearly a fifty-point lead ahead of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. However, Trump will remain absent from the debate stage this week, maintaining his promise to not participate in any GOP primary debates.
