Trump Holds Campaign Rally During Third GOP Primary Debate

On Wednesday night, former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Hialeah, Florida, not far from where the third Republican presidential primary debate was taking place in Miami.

Key Details: Trump spent little time going after his primary opponents, but he did criticize the debates, calling them dull. He then announced he would not be attending the next debate at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Dec. 6. During the rally, Trump also criticized many of President Joe Biden's policies, declared the country had sharply declined under Biden, and vowed to deliver the "largest deportation operation in U.S. history" if elected.

Key Quote: “It’s time for the Republican establishment to stop wasting time and resources trying to push weak and ineffective RINOs and never-Trumpers that nobody wants and nobody is going to vote for,” Trump said.

For Context: Trump has previously called for the Republican National Committee to stop hosting the debates since he has a double-digit front-runner status.

How the Media Covered it: Newsmax (Right bias) focused on Trump's vow to pass tougher immigration policy. Politico (Lean Left bias) focused on Trump's comments that the Republican debates were "unwatchable".
