Days before the New Hampshire primary, the Democrats’ top presidential contenders clashed over experience and electability in a debate that tested the strength of new front-runner Pete Buttigieg and struggling Joe Biden.

“I’m interested in the style of the politics we need to put forward to actually finally turn the page,” Buttigieg said. “The politics of the past I think were not all that bad,” Biden said. “I don’t know what about the past about Barack Obama and Joe Biden was so bad.” A somber Biden was appreciative when Buttigieg defended him and his son, Hunter Biden, against attacks from Trump in the impeachment inquiry.
The seven-person field highlighted the evolution of the Democrats’ 2020 nomination fight, which began with more than two dozen candidates and has been effectively whittled down to a handful of top-tier contenders.
