This live page has now closed. Thank you for joining us for the fourth Republican debate of the 2024 US presidential elections.
- The fourth Republican debate featured four candidates: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former UN envoy Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
- Former President Donald Trump, who continues to comfortably lead in the polls, skipped the debate once again, attending a fundraiser instead.
- The event, held in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was the final debate of the year, taking place six weeks ahead of the Iowa caucus.
- Participants clashed over the war in Gaza, with Christie saying he would be willing to send troops to rescue American captives and Ramaswamy expressing reticence over US involvement.
- Haley was a target for heated attacks from DeSantis and Ramaswamy, particularly over foreign policy, with Christie leaping to her defence.
