routine appeared to be set. An assortment of candidates would take the stage to battle each other, the president, and the same spate of questions over and over again. For a primary that’s about as wide open as they get, the dance was nonetheless starting to feel awfully stale.
For the most part, moderators Judy Woodruff, Amna Nawaz, Yamiche Alcindor, and Tim Alberta ran down a smart slate of questions relevant to the seven candidates onstage , covering topics including the the economy, the pressing realities of climate change, racism, Afghanistan, and taxing the wealthy. Several questions were either brand new to astage or so relatively ignored up to this point that hearing the candidates speak on the subject felt genuinely jarring.
Alcindor in particular had a couple questions that more candidates should have answered. She asked Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders about their stances on Israel and Palestine. After bringing up the fact that Andrew Yang was the only non-white person onstage tonight, she asked Amy Klobuchar what she, as a white candidate, might say to the many white people made uncomfortable by the fact that ethnic “minorities” are becoming more of a majority with every passing year.
