Democrats gear up for ABC News debate in Houston, with front-runners set to face off on one stage, one night
The 10 highest-polling candidates will appear for a single night of debate in Houston hosted by ABC News and Univision -- the smallest roster yet in the third matchup of Democratic National Committee-sanctioned primary debates, with a field that still counts 20.5:32 p.m.
Biden's team downplayed the suggestion that his recent missteps on the trail were having an impact, and repeated their belief that voters know who he is, and that they will watch him on the trail and make their own determination on whether his age is an issue. 2:15 p.m. Trump on what to expect from tonight's debateThe Trump campaign sent around an email to supporters ahead of Thursday's ABC Democratic primary debate running down"the top things" they are expecting from tonight—with"banning plastic straws" at the top of the list, of course.
Check out the “before” picture, with who voters are considering voting for, which candidates they think are most electable and more. But by Friday – same url, going live at ~1 p.m.
For the first time, the lineup includes polling front-runner Biden sandwiched in between Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, pitting"Middle Class Joe" against the leading progressives. Rehashing the Obama legacyDespite the former president being the party's most popular member, the more liberal flanks and some lower-polling candidates forced Biden to fend off the attacks on his former boss, particularly on health care and immigration.
On immigration, although the previous White House took steps to overhaul the immigration system -- even using executive powers to protect Dreamers -- several 2020 Democrats took aim at the three million deportations under the Obama presidency, leaving Biden as the sole navigator of those criticisms. Biden responded by calling out his fellow Democrats for unleashing friendly fire against Obama instead of railing against Trump.
Finding a lane in a still crowded primaryAt this next debate, the contenders outside of the top tier -- standing on the edge of the stage and in need of a breakthrough -- will likely be trained on finding their lane by giving Democratic primary voters more than just a return to the pre-Trump era , without alienating moderates or disapproving of the Obama legacy .
Harris invokes her prosecutorial past and compelling backstory to appeal to a broad coalition -- often telling voters as she did in the last debate,"I come from fighters ... My sister Maya and I joke we grew up surrounded by a bunch of adults that marched about this thing called 'justice.' And I'm prepared to march with you, to fight with you for the best of who we are, and to successfully prosecute the case against four more years of Donald Trump.
"Though we're connected to a president with no values and no morals, we're also connected as a people by our ambitions and aspirations," he told reporters over the weekend, later admitting that he might swear on the debate stage."Democrats, Republicans, independents, before any of those things, we are Americans first and need to start treating each other like it."
"We automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. If those states sound familiar, those are all the swing states that Donald Trump needed to win and did win. So to me this was a straight automation story that immigrants are being scapegoated for economic problems they have little to nothing to do with ... It's not immigration, it's automation," he said in a recent interview with CBS This Morning.
