Your Guide To Night 2 Of The Detroit Democratic Presidential Debates
The first leg of the second round of Democratic presidential debates is over, and now it’s on to Night 2.
Center stage features former Vice President Joe Biden, who has a lot on the line. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey has been promising attacks on Biden’s racial justice record, and Biden is promising to not be as “polite” as he was in the last debate. Night 1 also drew a bold line between moderates and progressives onstage.
Expect health care to be a big issue, as it was on Night 1. Sen. Kamala Harris of California unveiled her “Medicare for All” plan on Monday, presenting a middle ground between more progressive candidates’ stances looking to replace private health insurance and that of Biden, who wants a public option.
