Elizabeth Warren said what they were all thinking: “Bernie is winning right now.” Bernie Sanders’ momentum coming out of New Hampshire and Nevada made him a target, with every other candidate on the stage aiming barbs his way.
Bernie Sanders’ momentum coming out of New Hampshire and Nevada made him a target from the moment Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate kicked off in South Carolina, with every other candidate on the stage aiming barbs his way.
For months, Biden only barely survived debates — pummeled here, bumbling there. On Tuesday, he offered a cogent defense of the Obama era, highlighting his experience on issues ranging from gun control to funding for the Centers for Disease Control. He said, “I’m not going to be quiet anymore,” and he wasn’t. Meanwhile, with Biden’s elevation, Buttigieg suffered. He could draw contrasts with Sanders. But Biden has a big part of that lane, and he didn’t give any of it up tonight.
Sanders, the newly anointed frontrunner, faced more incoming than ever. But at the same time, Warren often had his back and his rivals also went after Steyer and Bloomberg. Put another way, things could have been much worse for him. There was no Kamala Harris-on-Biden or Warren-on-Bloomberg-level blow on Sanders, which is notable given that we’re one week away from Super Tuesday and he’s in the lead.I agree that this was one of Biden’s most energetic performances.
