With key states Florida and Ohio up for grabs next Tuesday, senior political reporter Evan Lips took to the NBP Twitter account to offer his takes on Thursday night's GOP debate in Miami.
MIAMI (AP) — Donald Trump opened Thursday's Republican president debate with a none-too-subtle message for GOP forces to unite behind his candidacy, saying, "The Republican establishment should embrace what's happening." Trump announced that one-time foe Ben Carson would endorse him on Friday.
At least in the debate's early going, unlike previous face-offs, the candidates were on their best behavior, sticking to policy and avoiding personal attacks.
