Moderate rivals go after progressive candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in second round of Democratic debates, spotlighting the ideological divide in the party's crowded presidential field
DETROIT - Progressive candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren came under fire from more moderate rivals as the second round of Democratic debates began on Tuesday, spotlighting the ideological divide in the party’s crowded presidential field.
“Watching that last debate, folks seemed more concerned about scoring points or outdoing each other with wish-list economics than making sure Americans know we hear their voices and will help their lives,” Bullock said. “Why do we have to be the party of taking something away from people?” said John Delaney, a former congressman who has been critical of Medicare for All.“They are running on telling half the country that your health insurance is illegal,” Delaney said, pointing to Warren and Sanders.“We’re not trying to take healthcare away from anyone. That’s what Republicans are trying to do.”
Lower-tier candidates were aiming to produce the kind of post-debate surge that U.S. Senator Kamala Harris enjoyed after a strong performance in the first debate after confronting front-runner Joe Biden on the issue of race.
