Booker, Biden and Harris, Gillibrand and de Blasio dig in on health-care at the DemDebate, though few of candidates have talked about how their plans would lower actual costs
While we wait for the action to start , here are a few things we’ll be looking for tonight:Since last month’s debate, Mr. Biden has maintained a solid lead over the rest of the field. But his performance last month prompted questions about whether he would have the endurance and the energy to face off against President Trump if he were to clinch the nomination.
“You want to have a reality check with what you do,” she said, prompting some to question why she had saved her sharpest barbs for her opponents for off-stage. Mr. Buttigieg, asked that question last night, effectively said both yes and no. “I don’t care how old you are. I care about your vision,” he said. “But I do think it matters that we have a new generation of leaders stepping up around the world.”
To qualify for this week’s debate, candidates had to hit a 1% threshold in at least three preapproved polls or get donations from 65,000 people. In September, those requirements will increase to a 2% threshold in four qualifying polls and 130,000 donors.
