'You can put an end to endless war without embracing Donald Trump's policy, as you're doing,' Buttigieg says to Gabbard. 'Will you end the regime change war?' she responds. 'What is an endless war if it's not yet another regime change war?' DemDebate
The Democratic presidential contenders are in Westerville, Ohio, for the fourth primary matchup of the season.
But Gabbard immediately disagreed, arguing,"So really, what you're saying, mayor Pete, is that you would continue to support having U.S. Troops in Syria for an indefinite period of time, to continue this regime-change war that has caused so many refugees to flee Syria, that you would continue to have our country involved in a war that has undermined our national security, you would continue this policy of the U.S. actually providing arms in support to terrorist groups in Syria...
Tulsi Gabbard:"Donald Trump has the blood of the Kurds on his hands, but so do many of the politicians in our country from both parties who have supported this ongoing regime change war in Syria" https://t.co/pSkeP3OT51 #DemDebate Former Vice President Joe Biden took the first question on foreign policy, criticizing President Trump for his decision to withdraw troops from Syria.
"Senator Warren is 100% right, that we’re in the midst of the most winner take all economy in history. And a wealth tax makes a lot of sense in principle. The problem is that it's been tried in Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, and all those countries ended up repealing it, because it had massive implementation problems and did not generate the revenue that they projected," Yang contended.
"I want to give a reality check, here, to Elizabeth because no one on this stage wants to protect billionaires," Klobuchar said."Not even the billionaire wants to protect billionaires." "Understand taxing income is not going to get you income where you need to be the way taxing wealth does," Warren said during her response."I think as Democrats we are going to succeed when we dream big and fight hard, not when we dream small and quit before we get started.
"Senator Sanders is right," Steyer began."There have been 40 years where corporations have bought this government and those 40 years have meant a 40-year attack on the rights of working people and specifically on organized labor ... I would undo every Republican tax cut for rich people and major corporations.""There's something wrong here," he said."That's that the corporations have bought our government. Our government has failed.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren argued to voters that it is bad trade policy, not automation, that should be the main focus of job loss. He then reiterated Sen. Kamala Harris' argument about reproductive rights, pushing for a broader conversation on the issue. Yang pushed back on Sanders' plan, arguing that his plan to give people $1,000 a month is better for Americans.
Amid the first contentious moment of the debate, Sen. Amy Klobuchar weighed in on the debate over health care by taking aim at her colleague, Sen. Elizabeth Warren. "The problem we have got right now is the overall cost of health care...I’ve put out nearly 50 plans on how we can fight back and rebuild an America that works," she added. "I appreciate Elizabeth's work. The difference between a plan and a pipe dream is something that you can actually get done," Klobuchar hit back.
"No plan has been laid out to explain how a multi-trillion-dollar hole in this Medicare for All plan that senator Warren is putting forward," he said. Fielding the first question on the economy, Warren failed to answer whether she would raise taxes on the middle class to pay for her Medicare for All plan.
EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden says he did nothing"improper” while serving on board of Ukrainian gas company, but may have showed “poor judgment” in joining. " Two years ago, I started the Need to Impeach movement because I knew there was something desperately wrong at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, that we did have the most corrupt president in the country and that only the voice and the will of the American people would drag Washington to see it as a matter of right and wrong, not of political expediency," Steyer said."So, in fact, impeaching and removing the president is something that the American people are demanding.
"I think that it should continue to play its course out, to gather all the information, provide that to the American people, recognizing that that is the only way forward." "We can walk and chew gum at the same time," he told the crowd inside the debate hall."All of us are out there every single day talking about what we're going to do to make sure that people cross the graduation stage, that more families have great health care, that more folks are put to work in places like Ohio, where Donald Trump has broken his promises, because Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania actually in the latest jobs data have lost jobs, not gained them.
Sen. Cory Booker, one of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was asked Tuesday night in his first question about if he could be fair in an impeachment trial, calling on all Democrats to be fair. "And he did it in plain sight. He has given us the evidence and he tried to cover it up, putting it in the special server. And there's been a clear consciousness of guilt. This will not take very long. Donald Trump needs to be held accountable."
"I think in terms of the recent Ukrainian incident, the idea that we have a president of the United States who is prepared to hold back national security money to one of our allies in order to get dirt on a presidential candidate is beyond comprehension," Sanders said. Pelosi defended their timeline without providing any new updates and dismissed questions about Republican calls for a formal floor vote.
O'Rourke's goal for this debate is"substance over flash." The campaign wants viewers to see O'Rourke as a leader on policies beyond guns, acknowledging that some may view him as a single-issue candidate. Bloomberg, once a Republican, Independent and now a Democrat, criticizes the current 2020 Democratic field in the op-ed, writing:"The country elects a commander in chief, and yet based on the campaign so far, one might think we are electing a legislator in chief — or a prime minister whose party controls a parliament.
The pivotal debate, hosted by CNN and the New York Times on the campus of Otterbein University, comes as the Democratic field is readying to spar over health care, immigration, climate change, criminal justice reform, among other topics, but is being consumed by external forces. For the second consecutive matchup, Former Vice President Joe Biden will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, pitting the elder statesman up against the rising liberal stalwart, who is steadily climbing in recent national polling and now shares the top spot with the former vice president.
As House Democrats move full-steam ahead with an impeachment inquiry, this will be the first debate in which questions about the matter may be broached. "There are differences between Elizabeth and myself," Sanders said in an interview with ABC’s"This Week" on Sunday, two days before his first official emergence back on the campaign trail since his heart attack."Elizabeth, I think, as you know, has said that she is a capitalist through her bones. I'm not."
