5 Takeaways From Tuesday's Democratic Debate: The Elizabeth Warren Pile-On

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING The fourth Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night confirmed what has been evident in the polls for some time: Sen. Elizabeth Warren has overtaken former Vice President Joe Biden as the front-runner in the race for the party’s nomination. In a nod to Tom Steyer, the wealthy hedge fund manager who just recently entered the presidential race and was participating in his first debate, Klobuchar wryly added, “Not even the billionaire wants to protect the billionaires.” O’Rourke joined in by accusing Warren of being “more focused on being punitive or pitting one part of the country against the other instead of lifting people up.” Yang called out Warren for not addressing the threat automation poses to U.S. workers. “I never discussed a single thing with my son about anything to do with Ukraine.. We always kept everything separate,” Biden said about his son’s work overseas. “We are literally using Donald Trump’s lies, and the second issue we cover on this stage is elevating a lie and attacking a statesman,” Booker said, referring to Joe Biden. The 37-year-old also repeatedly expressed his aversion to Washington elites, calling out “senators” and “congressmen” who have not gotten many things done during his “entire adult life.” During a conversation on foreign policy and Trump’s recent decision to withdraw troops in Syria, Buttigieg drew applause after he called for the U.S. to stand by its allies.
