HOUSTON - The Democratic presidential contenders head back to the campaign trail on Friday after a debate that reinforced former Vice President Joe Biden’s front-runner status and left his rivals searching for a formula to knock him out of the top spot.
In the Houston debate, Biden clashed with progressive rivals Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders on healthcare, challenging the two U.S. senators to be honest about the cost of their plans. “I’m going to continue to talk about why we need to unify the country around our common goals and our aspirations and our common problems,” U.S. Senator Kamala Harris of California, who refrained from attacking her rivals during the debate, told reporters afterward.
Candidates who do not qualify for that debate, and those on stage on Thursday who are struggling in the polls, will have to decide whether they have a reason to keep running. Aside from Biden, Sanders and Warren, none of the other 17 Democratic contenders is regularly hitting double digits in support in opinion polls.That includes former U.S. Housing Secretary Julian Castro, who led the charge on Thursday against Biden.
“He wants to take credit for Obama’s work but not have to answer any questions,” said Castro, who served in Obama’s administration. The White House hopefuls this time tried to emphasize their areas of agreement. Biden praised former U.S. Representative Beto O’Rourke for his work after a mass shooting in his hometown of El Paso, Texas, drawing a sustained ovation from the debate crowd.
