WASHINGTON - The kick-off of the second round of Democratic presidential debates on Tuesday featured a clash of liberal and moderate agendas, highlighting sharp divisions within the party over how to beat Republican Donald Trump in the November 2020 election.
At center stage will be a rematch between front-runner Joe Biden and rival Kamala Harris, whose explosive confrontations over race in last month’s debate produced the 2020 Democratic primary contest’s most contentious moment to date.The Montana governor was a newbie to the debate stage, having entered the race too late to qualify for the first round in Miami. He quickly attempted to make an impression by labeling progressives’ proposals “wish-list economics.
“Look, if it’s true that if we embrace a far-left agenda they’re going to say we’re a bunch of crazy socialists. If we embrace a conservative agenda, you know what they’re going to do? They’re going to say we’re a bunch of crazy socialists. So let’s just stand up for the right policy, go out there and defend it.”
Ultimately, the limelight may not do much to guarantee him a spot in the September debate. The Democratic National Committee has set higher funding and polling requirements to qualify, and Delaney has been stuck at the bottom of opinion surveys.The former Colorado governor did not have the kind of breakout moment he needed to bolster his faltering campaign but still produced one of the night’s best punch lines when he assailed Sanders over socialism.
When CNN moderator Jake Tapper asked Klobuchar who on the stage was making promises to get elected, Klobuchar demurred from naming names. O’Rourke’s campaign said he has qualified for the third debate series in September, when the Democratic Party has established more stringent criteria. But his performance on Tuesday will likely do little to restart his flagging fundraising or reverse his downward slide in opinion polls.After a somewhat quiet debate performance last month, the Vermont senator came back to his true form - unapologetic and irascible in the face of attacks from rivals trying to ding his progressive armor.
“You don’t have to yell,” Ryan admonished after Sanders vigorously defended his plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions. As Delaney accused Sanders of trying to take private insurance away with his Medicare-for-All proposal, Warren interjected in the debate to defend her friend.
