Today on Midday Tom talks about the first Republican presidential debate for the 2024 campaign season. Last night, eight candidates took the stage in Milwaukee for two-hours as they vied to stand out among a crowded primary field.

Although there was no shortage of fiery remarks and zingers in the debate, it remains to be seen if the needle has been moved at all in a race that former-President Donald Trump leads by nearly 40 points.

The guests for this program include:
Amber Phillips, a national political reporter for the Washington Post.

Jim Burton, a Republican strategist who has worked with Governors Larry Hogan and Bob Ehrlich, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis and Harford County Executive Bob Cassilly.

Governor Robert Ehrlich, a major force in Maryland politics who served in the House of Delegates and in Congress. In 2003 he was elected governor of Maryland, the first Republican to hold the state’s top job since the 1960s.
