5 takeaways from the first head-to-head debate of the 2020 race

Here are five takeaways from the first head-to-head debate of the 2020 race: DemDebate

Podiums six feet apart, an elbow bump instead of a handshake, and no live audience to wave to, Sunday’s debate was a stark reminder of the uncharted territory the 2020 race has now entered.

As the country grapples with growing anxiety over the global COVID-19 pandemic, and with the candidates sidelined from the trail, both Biden and Sanders outlined their visions for dealing with the unprecedented crisis. In the latest dust up, during an extended back-and-forth over whether embracing Medicare for All is the best path forward to address the crisis, Biden argued that Sanders’ signature policy of Medicare for All is a separate issue that does not necessarily tackle the immediate challenges of the coronavirus national emergency.

Biden pushed back, insisting that in these unique times, the country is at"war" with the coronavirus. Time and again, on current issues and past records, Sanders pressed Biden to the point of clear agitation, even as he committed to supporting the former vice president if he becomes the Democratic nominee.“Sure!” he offered when asked if he would campaign for him.

While Sanders often riffs about a political revolution, Biden argued from the two-podium stage that people"want results, not a revolution," before later adding,"We have problems we have to solve now. What's the revolution going to do? Disrupt everything in the meantime?"
