Democratic Debate: Live Analysis Of March 15 Event
NPRDebating Amid A Crisis The Democratic presidential primary has changed dramatically since the last debate. This time, there will be just two: former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. The pandemic is sure to be the prime topic Sunday night, as both the Democratic candidates have outlined proposals and have slammed the Trump administration’s response to the outbreak. Another likely topic: Sanders himself has acknowledged his new second-place position in the nominating contest, and even tipped off the former vice president to some of the questions he planned to ask during the debate. Biden seems to be paying attention: On Sunday, he announced he’s adopting Sanders’ proposal to make public colleges tuition-free for all students whose family incomes are below $125,000.
