HOUSTON - Former Vice President Joe Biden returned to the campaign trail on Friday after a Democratic debate that largely reinforced his front-runner status for the party’s presidential nomination, leaving his rivals searching for how to wrest away the top spot.
Biden came under fire from former U.S. Housing Secretary Julian Castro, who incorrectly accused the former vice president of forgetting what he had just in an exchange seen as an attack on Biden’s age. And Biden’s comments about racial inequality in schools prompted a rebuke from rival U.S. Senator Cory Booker.
Aside from Biden, Sanders and Warren, none of the other 17 Democratic contenders is regularly hitting double digits in support in opinion polls. At least one more candidate, billionaire activist Tom Steyer, has met the tougher qualifications for the next debate.Castro led the charge on Thursday against Biden by accusing him of flip-flopping in his description of his own healthcare proposal.
He transitioned into an answer related to education that suggested bringing social workers into black families’ homes to “help them deal with how to raise their children” and having a “record player on at night” to help with language acquisition.“He’s talking about people in communities like mine listening to record players. ... There are definitely moments when you listen to Joe Biden and you just wonder,” Booker said.
