A lot could have gone wrong for Elizabeth Warren at Wednesday's Democratic presidential debate — it didn’t
MIAMI - A lot could have gone wrong for Elizabeth Warren at Wednesday's Democratic presidential debate.Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, arrived in Miami riding a wave of momentum among the race's more than 20 candidates. By luck of the draw, she was onstage a night before most of the other top-tier Democratic contenders, such as former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.
“When you've got a government, when you've got an economy that does great for those with money and isn't doing great for everyone else, that is corruption, pure and simple,” Warren said in the early moments of the debate, when viewership is typically highest. “We need to call it out. We need to attack it head- on."
Given the chance to take Warren on, some centrist candidates punted. Early in the debate, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota was asked about Warren’s plan to provide tuition-free college at public universities. Instead of criticizing Warren’s plan as being too far-reaching, Klobuchar talked about her own support of community college and Pell grants for college students.
Her pledge was quickly highlighted by the Republican National Committee, which promised to use it against her in an effort to alarm voters worried about changes to their coverage.
