The two front-runners in the Democratic presidential primary, former VP Biden and Sen. Sanders, are preparing to take the debate stage.
"We know candidates are looking for breakout moments in these debates," one adviser told NBC News, but the already well-known Biden"doesn’t need a breakout moment. Any attacks from others during the debate will simply contrast with the vice president's positive message about his agenda and his emphasis on the extraordinary stakes of this election."
Referring to President Donald Trump, Biden told donors at a Washington fundraiser that divisions in the party will only wind up “increasing the chances that this fella will win.”One candidate looking to contrast himself with Biden is Buttigieg, whose debate preparation was delayed due to a fatal shooting by a police officer in South Bend that erupted into a citywide crisis over race relations and policing.
"She gave a fired-up speech at the convention, it set the tone for the whole convention," Sams said."She is putting a fine point on her message that her agenda is tangible in its effect for people and not an academic or ideological debate.” The entrepreneur has been focused on mastering the format of the debate, a senior campaign official told NBC. Yang, who has done several long-form podcasts, is trying to get used to 60-second answers.
