Amy Klobuchar back with the jokes. Key DemDebate moments 👉
The Democratic candidates came out hot on Friday night in New Hampshire, going after each other on issues of race, experience, health care and campaign fundraising, among other things. The target for much of the night was Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., who posted a surprise finish in Iowa, and has taken heat for much of the week.
“It's a long race. I took a hit in Iowa and I’ll probably take one here,” Biden said. “Bernie won by 20 points last time. Usually it's the neighboring senators that do well.” “You have to own up to the facts and it's important to own up to the facts about how race has totally permeated our justice system,” Warren said, pointing out that “study after study now shows African-Americans are more likely than whites to be detained, arrested, to be taken to trial, to be taken to trial to be convicted and receive harsher sentences.
“I don’t think any billionaire ought to be able to do it, and I don’t think people who suck up to billionaires in order to fund their campaigns ought to do it,” Warren said. “I heard everyone here talking about as Democrats we all wanna overturn Citizens United because we wanna end this unlimited spending. Yeah, except everyone on this stage except Amy and me is either a billionaire or is receiving help from PACs that can do unlimited spending.
“I know a thing or two about building a movement, because mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is not exactly an establishment fundraising powerhouse,” he said.Biden argued that choosing Sanders as the Democratic nominee would be a risk, not only to winning the White House but also to winning back control of the Senate.
“He says he wrote the damn thing. But he’s unwilling to say what the damn thing is gonna cost,” Biden said. “Look at the numbers. How much is it going to cost? Who’s going to pay for It will cost more than the entire the entire federal budget that we spend now. More than the entire budget. The idea that middle class taxes aren't going to go up and crazy.”
