Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg clash in most tense Democratic debate yet – live | US news






Earlier in the debate Amy Klobuchar referenced a Pete Buttigieg tweet on Medicare for All that sounded too silly to be true.

But after some digging through Buttigieg’s tweets, it turns out she wasn’t kidding:

I kind of thought Klobouchar was embellishing for dramatic effect but that’s exactly what Buttigieg tweeted two years ago https://t.co/kBqqzcPrOj

Amy Klobuchar has got off to a strong start and, like many candidates tonight, focused on one rival in particular: Pete Buttigieg. Here’s how parts of Twitter have been responding:

“We have a newcomer in the White House and look where it got us.”

The purity of Amy Klobuchar’s hatred for Buttigieg is such a thing to behold.

She’s like this close to doing Mayo Pete memes on Tik Tok.

Ding ding ding — points here to Klobuchar talking about the Vindmans and also Pete’s dumb remarks on impeachment.

Biden and Buttigieg clash over experience





After a tense standoff after last month’s debate in Iowa, in which Elizabeth Warren refused to shake Bernie Sanders’ hand and instead told him “I think you called me a liar on national TV,” they seem to have made amends, and shaken hands at the start of this evening’s event:

Biden: ‘I’ll probably take a hit’ in New Hampshire





Joe Biden has been stepping up his attacks on Bernie Sanders this week. Speaking in New Hampshire on Wednesday, he went after Sanders’ self-proclaimed socialism, claiming that it makes him a weak candidate against Trump.

But Sanders seemed prepared for the attack, highlighting how much Trump benefitted from “socialism for the rich” in his past career, via tax credits for property developers:
