The battle lines that will define the final sprint to the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary were set at the Democratic debate on Thursday night with several top candidates making more aggressive moves to stand out as voting draws near.
South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is being tested like never before -- a reality that dominated Thursday night's debate, when Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren unloaded on Buttigieg for his high-dollar fundraisers, including a recent one in"a wine cave full of crystals," and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar criticized the 37-year-old mayor of Indiana's fourth-largest city for getting clobbered the only time he's run for office statewide.
"And when Klobuchar questioned his level of experience, Buttigieg shot back,"If you want to talk about the capacity to win, try putting together a coalition to bring you back to office with 80% of the vote as a gay dude in Mike Pence's Indiana."But there are no signs that the attacks will let up anytime soon."A president was impeached last night because of corruption," Warren communications director Kristen Orthman said after the wine cave exchange.
