The DemDebate was heated at times, yet there were plenty of moments of unity with candidates aware that Democratic primary voters have little desire to see an all-out intraparty brawl
With urgency rising in their presidential nomination fight, the Democrats' top presidential contenders clashed over experience and electability in a fiery debate Friday night that tested the strength of a new front-runner, former Midwestern mayor Pete Buttigieg, and struggling former Vice President Joe Biden.
Friday marked the eighth and perhaps most consequential debate in the Democratic Party's yearlong quest for a presidential nominee. The prime-time affair came just four days after Iowa's chaotic caucuses -- and four days before New Hampshire's primary -- with several candidates suddenly facing pointed questions about their political survival.
She also accused Buttigieg of attacking Washington "because it's popular to say and makes you look like a cool newcomer." The debate was heated at times, yet there were plenty of moments of unity with candidates aware that Democratic primary voters have little desire to see an all-out intraparty brawl.
Billionaire activist Tom Steyer and New York entrepreneur Andrew Yang, meanwhile, were fighting to prove they belong in the conversation.
