Roughly an hour into Wednesday’s debate, Biden and Booker got their chance to square off. Booker called out Biden’s criminal justice reform plan as an attempt to put out a house fire that he’d set himself. But Biden came with his own opposition file prepared, hitting Booker for “hiring Rudy Guiliani’s guy” when he was mayor of Newark and increasing stop and frisk.
Booker also benefited from a Biden slip up. The former vice president accidentally called Booker the president, then jokingly called him the “future president.”
