As Democratic primary heads toward an all-white top tier, debate underscores risks of losing black voters
Clashes and mockery come at the end of the Democratic debate in Atlanta. Pete Buttigieg and Tulsi Gabbard face attacks and Joe Biden faces laughter.
Biden, who benefits from his established reputation and the goodwill engendered by his years as President Obama’s vice president, has consistently topped national and many early-state polls largely because of his commanding lead among black voters. In an apparent shot at Buttigieg during the debate, Booker said, “No one on stage should need a focus group to listen to black voters.”
He also defended himself against the accusation that he lacks experience for the job. “Washington experience is not the only experience that matters,” he said. “There’s more than 100 years of Washington experience on this stage, and where are we as a country?”
