Julián Castro invoked Puerto Rico tonight, alluding to its leader’s recent resignation following protests from residents on the island. “We were reminded and inspired by our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico,” he said.
“Tonight, I think Democrats are expecting some engagement here,” he said. “And I expect we’ll get it.”“Mr. President, let’s get something straight: We love it. We are not leaving it,” he said, referring to the country. “We are here to stay and we’re certainly not gonna leave it to you.”The health care debate quickly turned to a discussion of numbers. Biden called the idea that Democrats are using GOP talking points “a bunch of malarkey” and referenced the $30 trillion price tag of Sen.
“I don’t know what math you do in New York. I don’t know what math you do in California,” he said, talking to de Blasio and Harris. “But I tell ya, that’s a lot of money, and there will be a deductible. The deductible will be out of your paycheck because that’s what we require.” “Yeah, let’s talk about math,” Harris responded, highlighting the $72 billion the pharmaceutical and insurance companies made last year. She told Biden that under his plan, the “status quo, you do nothing to hold the insurance companies to task for what they have been doing to American families.”Castro pulled the field to the left on immigration by supporting decriminalizing illegal border crossings. The issue was one of his highlights in the last debate.
