The ideological divisions gripping the Democratic Party intensified in the second debate as presidential candidates waged a battle over health care, immigration and race. Joe Biden was repeatedly forced to defend his decades-old record.
“The first thing I am going to do is Clorox the Oval Office,” New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said.
Biden charged that Harris’ health care plan would cost taxpayers $3 trillion even after two terms in office and would force middle-class taxes to go up, not down. He said that would put Democrats at a disadvantage against Trump.Harris slapped back that Biden was inaccurate. “Sen. Harris says she’s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she’ll be a prosecutor president, but I’m deeply concerned about this record,” Gabbard said. “Too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.”
Biden suggested that some of his rivals favor immigration laws that are far too forgiving. Castro, for example, would“People should have to get in line. That’s the problem,” Biden said.Biden did have a defender of sorts in Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, who derided the cost and impact of “Medicare for All” on middle-class families and those with private health insurance.
