Featured in a new piece from Voice of America (VOA), Press Secretary Kaivan Shroff speaks on the 4th Republican presidential debate:

Messenger/Harris poll indicates that among Republican voters former President Donald Trump leads his competitors with support from 68% of those surveyed, followed by DeSantis at 9% and Haley at 7%. Ramaswamy garnered 4%, while Christie and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who qualified to participate only in the first of the four debates but officially remains in the race, were at 1% or less.

The candidates attempted Wednesday to distinguish themselves from the former president, should he not run or not be able to run due to his court cases.

Kaivan Shroff, political commentator and press secretary for Dream for America, says the candidates missed the chance to “attack the real frontrunner in the race. Only Chris Christie did so.”

Christie had called Trump an “angry, bitter man who wants to be back as president because he wants to enact retribution on anyone who has disagreed with him.”

Shroff warned that “Haley and DeSantis showed they were too cowardly to make the case against Trump in this final debate of the year and they will pay the price.”

Ramaswamy took a swipe at the former and current presidents as well as his on-stage rivals, saying “It is going to take a leader from the outside with fresh legs from the next generation to unite this country.”
