Joe Biden predicted that Bernie Sanders would win New Hampshire next week: 'I took a hit in Iowa and I'll probably take a hit here.'DemDebate
The Democrats' top presidential contenders clashed over health care, experience and electability in the early moments of a fiery debate Friday night as the 2020 primary season roared into a critical new phase.
The debate tested the strength of the Democrats' new front-runners, Sanders and Pete Buttigieg, who emerged from Iowa on top but walked into New Hampshire with liabilities that their Democratic rivals fought to exploit. With the stakes rising by the day and money rapidly drying up, Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar were also fighting to prove to voters and donors alike that a legitimate path to the presidency remained.
She also accused Buttigieg of going after Washington "because it's popular to say and makes you look like a cool newcomer." Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg remains a major unknown in the primary math, skipping debates and the first four states' elections while flooding the airwaves with hundreds of millions of dollars in ads and picking up significant endorsements. He's focusing on the big basket of Super Tuesday primaries.
The seven-person field also 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. That said, she stressed unity at campaign stops in recent days: "We've got to pull together as a party. We cannot repeat 2016," she said this week in New Hampshire.
