ABC News cancels Republican debate after Haley refuses to debate without Trump

ABC News has decided to cancel its Republican presidential primary debate in New Hampshire on Thursday, following Nikki Haley’s announcement that she would not participate in further debates unless front-runner Donald Trump is present.

The network released a statement, stating, “Our intent was to host a debate coming out of the Iowa caucuses, but we always knew that would be contingent on the candidates and the outcome of the race.” The spokesperson added, “As a result, while our robust election coverage will continue, ABC News and WMUR-TV will not be moving forward with Thursday’s Republican presidential primary debate in New Hampshire.”

Donald Trump secured a decisive victory in the Iowa Caucus on Monday, marking the first contest of the 2024 presidential nomination. Nikki Haley claimed the third position in Iowa with 19.1% of the vote, CNBC reported.
