- The debate would come after the Republican Party has increased its eligibility criteria for the upcoming debates, potentially resulting in a one-on-one faceoff between DeSantis and Haley.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has expressed his desire for a one-on-one debate with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in the upcoming Republican presidential primary. DeSantis made the comments during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday morning.
The debate would come after the Republican Party has increased its eligibility criteria for the upcoming debates, potentially resulting in a one-on-one faceoff between DeSantis and Haley. DeSantis predicted that the showdown might be happening anyway in Iowa and New Hampshire, and Hewitt asked if he’d be willing to debate Haley one-on-one on his radio show.
The debate would come after the final televised debate of the Republican primary, in which former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) used the opportunity to light into Donald Trump and the Republicans unwilling to criticize him. A number of candidate withdrawals and the Republican Party’s escalating eligibility criteria meant that only Christie, Haley, DeSantis, and […] were on stage.
It remains to be seen if DeSantis will get his wish for a one-on-one debate with Haley. The Republican Party has yet to announce any official debate plans, and it is unclear if the criteria will be met for a one-on-one faceoff between the two candidates. In the meantime, DeSantis and Haley will continue to campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire in the lead up to the first contests on the Republican presidential primary calendar.
