More than 70% of the Democratic candidates’ time was spent discussing specific policies
not want to witness a food fight, they want to know how we’re going to put food on their table.” So said Kamala Harris, the junior senator from California, on the second night of this week’s Democratic primary debate on June 27th. The line, while clearly scripted, provoked raucous applause, suggesting that the assembled audience was more interested in policy disagreements than bickering and personal attacks. That is, for the most part, what the candidates gave them.
Such issues may be of little concern to primary voters. According to YouGov, a pollster, America’s biggest political divides run along demographic, not policy lines. Nonetheless, this week’s debate may still prove consequential. During Thursday’s tussle, Ms Harris pressed Mr Biden, the front-runner, over his civil rights record, including his opposition to school busing ordered by America’s Department of Education in the 1970s. The exchange may damage his standing among his core supporters.
