Biden shows his stamina, Warren faces incoming, Harris makes nice, Castro swings below the belt.
No candidate has fallen further from his position in early polling than Beto O’Rourke, who entered the presidential race on a tidal wave of hype and has been sinking ever since.
Later, the Democrat drew cheers from the studio audience when he bluntly asserted, “There is a white supremacist in the White House, and he poses a mortal threat to people of color all across the country.” Former Housing Secretary Julián Castro made the implicit quite explicit when he taunted Biden during a back-and-forth over healthcare, suggesting an embarrassing lapse of memory.
In July’s session he was faulted for deporting too many people during his administration and was accused of falling short on healthcare by failing to deliver the more expansive universal coverage that candidates are touting this campaign.“I want to give credit to Barack Obama for really bringing us this far,” California Sen. Kamala Harris said before outlining her proposal to build on the former president’s signature Affordable Care Act.
But on Thursday night, Harris bantered cheerfully with Biden and directed her criticisms entirely at Trump, at one point likening him to “the small dude” behind the curtain “like in the Wizard of Oz.”
