1 / 3 -- The Democratic candidates will meet for the fourth presidential debate on Tuesday after an extraordinary series of events that has dramatically altered the race since the last forum in September.
For Elizabeth Warren, the forum will be the first opportunity to defend her statistical tie with Biden and perhaps rise into the lead, and the first chance to defend her status as the standard-bearer for the progressive wing of the party against Bernie Sanders. All of the candidates agree that Trump should face impeachment proceedings, though Biden was the last to get on board. They won’t miss an opportunity to hammer home that point on live television.
Story continuesFor some, the goal will simply be to have a steady enough performance to qualify for November’s debate, for which the Democratic National Committee has set even more stringent polling and fundraising requirements than the ones that were in place for the September and October debates. On Sunday, Hunter Biden announced that he would leave the board of a Chinese firm at the end of October and would forgo all foreign work if his father were elected president.
That fight is most likely to be sparked by their biggest fault line: health care. Sanders and Warren embrace a Medicare for All proposal that would establish a government-run system that would abolish private insurance, while most of the other candidates, including Buttigieg, favor adding a public option to the existing system that’s largely reliant on private insurance.
