Democratic presidential front-runner Bernie Sanders comes under attack from his rivals in a televised election debate
Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden discuss an issue during the tenth Democratic 2020 presidential debate at the Gaillard Center in Charleston, South Carolina, US, February 25, 2020.
Democratic presidential front-runner Bernie Sanders quickly came under attack from his rivals on Tuesday as seven candidates competing to take on US President Donald Trump in November debated in Charleston, South Carolina."Bernie and I agree on a lot of things, but I think I would make a better president than Bernie," the senator from Massachusetts said.
"We need a president who is going to dig in and actually do the hard work," she said. "I dug in, I did the work and then Bernie’s team trashed me for it."The former vice president pointed out Sanders' voting against the 1993 Brady Bill that imposed mandatory background checks and waiting periods for gun purchases.
"Bernie voted five times against the Brady bill ... and wanted a waiting period of 12 hours," Biden said. Referring to the 2015 mass shooting at a church near the debate venue, Biden added: "I'm not saying responsible for the nine deaths, but that man would not have been able to get that weapon with the waiting period.
