Julián Castro: 'This president always likes to take credit...We've now had about 105 straight months of positive job growth—the longest streak in American history. Over 80 months of that was due to President Obama. Thank you, Barack Obama.' DemDebate2
After Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren fended off repeated attacks from moderate competitors, the next 10 presidential primary contenders took the stage Wednesday for the second night of the second Democratic debates.Yang, the only entrepreneur on the stage, was asked about fixing the gender pay gap in the country.
Ryan Crane, who lives in Des Moines, is deciding between Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Elizabeth Warren. Explaining why they are his top candidates, he said, “I want somebody who can beat Donald Trump, but I also want somebody who can actually move the needle on progressive issues.” But then Biden added,"Well, I love your affection for me. You spend a lot of time with me," after several attacks directed his way from the mayor throughout the night.
After Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said,"The first thing that I'm going to do when I'm president is I'm going to Clorox the Oval Office", she was asked to defend the Green New Deal which she co-sponsors. Andrew Yang, delivering a sobering reality to the crowd on the climate crisis, said,"Even if we were to curb or emissions dramatically, the Earth is going to get warmer."
Former Vice President Joe Biden responds to his attack saying,"The fact of the matter is nothing is middle ground about my plan. I call for immediate action to be taken." Gillibrand is referencing the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year old black teenager, who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in the dead of the night after following him for several minutes. Zimmerman told police Martin looked suspicious because he was wearing a hoodie.
When asked about her defense of former Vice President Joe Biden, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard directed her criticisms at Sen. Kamala Harris, saying:"I want to bring the conversation back to the criminal justice system that is disproportionately affecting black and brown people." Harris then replied,"I think you can judge people by when they are under fire and it's not about some fancy opinion on a stage but when they're in the position to actually make a decision what do they do, when I was in the position of having to decide whether or not to seek a death penalty on cases I prosecuted, I made a very difficult decision that was not popular to not seek the death penalty. History shows that and I am proud of those decisions.
"When Vice President Biden was in the United States Senate working with segregationists to oppose bussing which was the vehicle by which we would integrate America's public schools, had I been in the Senate at that time I would have been on the other side of the aisle," she said.
As the Democrats switch the conversation to criminal justice reform, Castro highlights his proposal to reform policing in America. Booker then said,"I'm glad he endorsed my presidency already," before adding,"If you want to compare records and I'm shocked that you do, I am happy to do that." "We've got to look at the challenge that people all across this country are facing under crushing student debt. This is something that's impacting my generation in a huge way and I believe that it is our generation that has the bold, creative solutions to be able to solve it," she said.
Recounting his own family's history amid a tense debate over immigration, Andrew Yang jumped in to say,"My father immigrated here and generated over 65 U.S. Patents for GE and IBM. That's the immigration story we need to be telling." Castro added that we need to have guts on this issue to which Biden said,"I have guts enough to say his plan doesn't make sense."
And Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand added:"No president before President Trump enforced the law in the way he has enforced it because he's using it as the crutch to lock up women and children, to separate mothers and babies, to put them behind bars. So I don't think we should have a law on the books that can be so misused. It should be a civil violation and we should make sure that we treat people humanely.
Former HUD Secretary Julian Castro is asked to defend his stance on decriminalizing illegal border crossings. CNN moderator Jake Tapper asked de Blasio who he was referring to and the New York mayor responded,"With all due respect, what Senator Bennett is saying is absolutely inaccurate about taxes. Americans right now are paying so much money for their health care, ask people about the reality of premiums, deductibles, co-pays, out-of-pocket expenses."
In the middle of fielding several attacks over her"Medicare for All" plan, Sen. Kamala Harris took a moment to respond to one from Sen. Michael Bennet, saying,"With all due respect to my friend Michael Bennett, my plan does not offer anything that is illegal. What it does is it separates the employer from health care meaning that where you work will not be -- the kind of health care you get will not be a function of where you work.
Sen. Cory Booker before detailing his own health care plan, takes jabs at President Donald Trump saying,"First of all, let me say that the person that's enjoying this debate most right now is Donald Trump. We pit Democrats against each other while he is working right now to take away Americans' health care. There is a court case working through the system that will gut the Affordable Care Act and actually get for preexisting conditions.
When asked about former Vice President Joe Biden's attacks on her health care plan, released earlier this week, Sen. Kamala Harris responded,"They are probably confused because they have not read it." Former Vice President Joe Biden said,"Just look at this stage, made up of diverse people from diverse backgrounds, went on to be mayors, senators, governors, congresswomen, members of the cabinet and yes, even a vice president. Mr. President, this is America. And we are stronger and great because of this diversity, Mr. President, not in spite of it, Mr. President. So Mr. President, let's get something straight. We love it. We are not leaving it.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said,"Beating Donald Trump definitely not impossible. We need a nominee who will take on the big fights and win. We need a nominee who doesn't know the meaning of impossible." Mayor Bill de Blasio said,"To the working people of America, tonight I bring you a message of hope. We can make change in this country."
The moment was picked up by his mic and comes after a contentious moment at the first debate between the two, which was followed by a month of back-and-forth sparring over Biden's record and Harris' history as a young prosecutor. Sen. Kamala Harris said of her debate strategy,"My mother raised me to be polite, and I intend to be polite. I will express differences and articulate them, and certainly point out where we have differences of opinion."One lower-polling candidate, de Blasio, is"ready to perform" after a"very good first debate performance," his campaign team said.
They will be tracking everything on stage Wednesday, from the issues candidates talk about to how the media covers the debate.Former Vice President Joe Biden, prior to taking the stage, tweeted out a photo of with his family, writing,"I'm getting ready to take the stage in Detroit! Grateful to have my family by my side."
In an interview with @michaelshure, Marianne Williamson tells him that she has foreign policy experience because"my parents were world travelers" pic.twitter.com/hNza1v0co9 As previously announced, Clayton Henson, the party’s coalitions director in Ohio in 2016 will work as the state director. Bob Paduchik, who previously served as the co-chairman of the RNC will serve as a senior advisor.
As for the idea that Booker, who's known for his positive and forward-looking outlook and for campaigning on a message of unity and love, could turn negative at some point tonight, Singh compared any such talk to"tough love," and said it would mean that the senator felt it was truly necessary, Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign team says he won’t take any attack’s on his record laying down and plans to articulate a strong case for why President Donald Trump’s leadership has been a failure for working-class people and on the world stage.
Airing on CNN at 8 p.m. ET, Wednesday night's debate is expected to be more contentious than Tuesday's, picking up where the first debates in Miami left off: When Biden was relegated to playing defense after a game-changing moment for Harris and other lesser-known candidates saw spikes in fundraising and polling following much-needed breakout performances.
While Biden expects attacks from all sides, he said last week at a fundraiser in Michigan that if his 2020 rivals talk about his past, he'll return the favor and won't be"so polite this time." But his campaign manager, Addisu Demissie, detailed his debate strategy during the Monday call, saying,"I think Cory's approach to the debate is to be himself. And, you know, that means present his vision for the country, how he's going to be Donald Trump, and begin the process of fixing and healing, the pain that Donald Trump has caused."
