5 takeaways from the Democratic debate in New Hampshire by realchriswilson
Seven Democratic presidential candidates gathered in Manchester, N.H., on Friday night, sharing a stage for the first time since the Iowa caucuses. scrutiny after a virtual tie for first place, and with polls showing them vying for the lead in New Hampshire. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Tom Steyer and Andrew Yang were all hoping to make it into the top three.
“I took a hit, and I’ll probably take a hit here,” said Biden, noting that Sanders and Warren represent neighboring states. Biden said he expected to do better in the later states based on his support from black voters, although he got some pushback on that by Tom Steyer, who has polled well in South Carolina after spending millions there.
2. Buttigieg under fireAn ominous sign for Biden was that his rivals aimed most of their attacks at Buttigieg, suggesting they see the former mayor as the candidate to beat. Klobuchar repeatedly mentioned Buttigieg’s lack of experience, questioned his record on health care and hit him over his dismissal of the impeachment trial, saying, “You said it was exhausting to watch and that you wanted to turn the channel and watch cartoons.
3 - A hug for SandersWhile the candidates weren’t afraid to contrast records and experience, there were limits to how far the Democrats would go in criticizing one another. When asked if nominating Biden could be a danger considering he and his son Hunter could potentially be under investigation by Republicans, Buttigieg dismissed the theory.
Sanders returned the favor later in the night when asked about attacks from Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner on Biden’s record on African-Americans. Sanders said that Biden was his friend and that Turner was referring only to the earlier parts of Biden’s career.
