Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke gave himself a ideal rating for his performance in the DNC's first 2020 primary debates, despite all the criticisms he faced Wednesday night.
A Democratic presidential debate last night offered a chance to move beyond slogans that are short enough to fit on a hat.
Advocates looking for clues about how candidates would respond to issues facing Latinos saw the Spanish-speaking move Wednesday night as promising and honest.
However, Schlehuber noted that the Trump team had already recognized the huge electoral potential of the state's large Hispanic population, much of which votes conservatively. Cory Booker of New Jersey. The candidates will spend the next eight months before primary voting scrapping over that question and the broader fight for the direction of their political party.
"I am just concerned about kicking half of Americans off their health insurance in just four years", Klobuchar said.
On Thursday, Colorado Senator Michael Bennet also took aim at Biden during the debate, attacking Biden's claims that he drove hard bargains with Republican leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to preserve some of former President George W. Bush's tax cuts.
China warns of 'severe threats' to global order at G20
Trump has said he wants to end the unfair practices China employs, including currency manipulation and theft of trade secrets. Tokyo and Washington are engaged in hard trade talks as Trump's administration seeks to lower the U.S. trade deficit.
Sources report that former Vice President and fellow 2020 candidate Joe Biden looked extremely nervous last night upon receiving news that he too had failed the class. "Tengo mucho study!" he said before locking himself in the basement of Van Pelt library with his Spanish textbook to cram for tomorrow's debate.
Sen. Warren benefited from having the moderators frequently point to her policy proposals and how other 2020 hopefuls responded to them. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who needed big moments to help spark momentum in the crowded field. The issue took on added urgency after reports last week of unsanitary and unsafe living conditions at immigrant child detention centres and the publication by The Associated Press of a graphic photo showing a father and toddler daughter who died trying to cross the border.
On a stage with nine other candidates, facing five moderators and limited to 60-second responses, Booker managed to not only talk the most but - all told - was the most searched candidate of the night, according to Google Analytics. The Vermont senator has proposed a "Medicare for All" system without private insurance while Biden, who will also be debating, hasn't gone that far.
Inslee boasted that he alone among the 10 had signed a bill on reproductive rights for women. And added, "If we want to have this campaign litigated on who supports civil rights and whether I did or not, I'm happy to say that I was a public defender, I didn't become a prosecutor". At center stage, she had the air of command. "Joe Biden was right when he said it was time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans 32 years ago, he's still right today". Will foreign policy be more of an issue for this group of candidates? That's a home run for what she's trying to do with her candidacy.
"Why do we have to stand for taking away something from people?" asked Delaney, one of the few Democrats on stage who represented his party's moderate wing.
Being a front-runner often means enduring the worst of the criticism from your opponents, but Biden escaped an onslaught, at least for one night.
