On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The Republican presidential campaign officially kicked off last night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 8 candidates traded barbs. All of them took aim at the Biden Administration along with the front runner, former President Donald Trump who didn't attend. Editorial director at the Daily Caller, Vince Coglianese, joins to share what the biggest take away was from the debate. And as the war in Ukraine drags on for a year and a half now, and on Ukraine’s Independence Day, President Joe Biden praised the “brave Ukrainian women and men” who in their battle against Russia, “are showing the world once more that freedom is worth fighting for.” This week marks the annual gathering in Northern Italy of faith leaders and lay people. The high-profile event even received a message from Pope Francis. Senior Editor at the National Catholic Register, Jonathan Liedl, joins to tell us more about what the Holy Father said to attendees at the Rimini Meeting. Finally this evening, a group from a parish in Charlotte, North Caroline visited Haiti several years ago. They were told the people in the Caribbean nation needed food.
