Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker took on Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, blasted President Obama on foreign policy and vowed to take on labor unions during the second GOP debate, which aired Wednesday night on CNN.
Walker delivered a strong shot against Trump early in the debate, saying that “we don’t need an apprentice in the White House,” adding a dig at President Obama, saying, “we have one right now.”

He also called raising the minimum wage “lame.”
Walker did not have a major moment during the debate, and spoke for only about 7 minutes total. He also was the least searched candidate on Google during the debate:

The reaction to his debate on Twitter was mixed:
Definitely a different Scott Walker at tonight’s debate. Seems much more engaged. #NBC2016 #CNNDebate
Scott Walker is doing well for himself right now. #gopdebate
I don’t think CNN has called on Walker for at least 30 minutes.
Winners: Carly, Scott Walker and Chris Christie. Losers: Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Jeb.
