Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley tore into each other in Wednesday night’s Republican presidential primary debate in Iowa.
The rivals leaned on a few key themes to hit each other throughout the CNN debate, suggesting the other is fundamentally unfit for the job instead of merely being wrong on policy.
Haley portrayed DeSantis as an unserious, lying loser.
“Ron’s lying because Ron’s losing,” she said at one point. “You’re so desperate. You’re just so desperate.”
