GOP debate: it's serious the insults of the Republican presidential candidates

Eight presidential candidates took the stage Wednesday night at the Republican debate and Donald J. Trump wasn't one of them – but the former president was a topic of conversation.

The debate took place in Milwaukee from 9 to 11 p.m. EST, with live broadcast coverage on Fox News Channel. Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum moderated the debate.

The candidates included North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
