In a heated showdown, the third Republican presidential debate unfolded with unforgettable moments, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

The candidates spared no punches as they clashed over critical issues that could shape the future of the United States.

The night was marked by passionate exchanges between the contenders, with topics ranging from immigration to healthcare taking center stage.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Thursday said her GOP rival Vivek Ramaswamy “threw a petty shot,” when addressing their ongoing feud during an interview with Fox News.

“Even though it was a personal shot, and it was a shot that wasn’t necessary, I think the bigger point is there are big differences between me and Ramaswamy. He doesn’t think we should be helping Israel. He thinks that we should let Putin have Ukraine,” Haley said.

“We have real issues on that debate stage that differentiate us and that’s what I wanted to talk about. He threw a petty shot there. It says more about him than it does about me,” she added.

Haley also responded to former President Donald Trump slamming her during his rally in Hialeah.

“Yes, I said I wouldn’t run against him, but it was before we had the fall in Afghanistan, before we saw inflation go through the roof. It was before we lost the mid-terms…We cannot win the issues and fights of the 21st century if we continue to use politicians of the 20th century,” Haley said.

Haley said her strategy to surpass Trump in the polls and become the GOP frontrunner is “slow and steady.” #featured
