Perino: It’s ‘Crunch Time’ for GOP Candidates

The Republican primary field faces a crucial moment in the upcoming Fox Business debate, with candidates needing a breakout moment to challenge Donald Trump's dominance. In an interview, Fox News host and debate cohost Dana Perino emphasized the importance of candidates distinguishing themselves as potential presidents. Perino told Politico, “It’s crunch time for them. They have supporters and donors who want to see a breakout moment.”

While FOX Business is hosting the debate, Perino said the debate will be broad and feature a wide variety of topics. However, she feels that the economy will be a critical part of the debate, not because it’s hosted by a business network, but because so many critical issues are tied to finances.

"I believe the economy will feature prominently, because we know that that is the biggest concern and preoccupation that is worrying Americans," Perino told FOX News Digital. 

"In many ways, in my opinion, the economy is the thread that runs through all of these other possible topics," she continued. "For example, if you're concerned about crime, one of the issues is, ‘What kind of resources do you have and are you willing to use in order to help deal with that?’ Or if you are concerned about education, or childcare or national defense, you need a strong and growing economy in order to feel like a strong and growing country."
