Entrepreneur and political newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy emerged as the most MAGA of candidates on the Fiserv Forum stage in Milwaukee Wednesday, for the first Republican presidential debate, at least in Donald J. Trump’s absence. Yes, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was there too, but mostly to demonstrate why his candidacy has been flailing for several months. 

Other candidates, including Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence, argued for why they think it’s time for the GOP to move on from the former president.
