Cory Booker says he'll fight for union strength, 'so that unions from the auto workers all the way to fast food workers can ensure that we improve workers' conditions and make sure that every American has a living wage in this country.' DemDebate
The Democratic presidential contenders are in Westerville, Ohio, for the fourth primary matchup of the season.
"The value that someone feels in themselves and their own lives is not defined by the job that they have but is intrinsic to who we all are as Americans," she urged."Whatever we choose to do with our lives. We can't forget that." In a staunch defense of the vice president, Sen. Cory Booker admonished the moderators for"literally using Donald Trump's lies."
With automation threatening to wipe out the jobs of tens of millions of citizens, Sanders says he has a plan to ensure jobs are protected. California Sen. Kamala Harris called out the lack of questions on reproductive rights throughout the current debate, and the previous three. "You are making Republican talking points right now in this room by coming out for a plan that's going to do that," she continued about building on Obamacare."I think there's a better way that is bold that will cover more people. It's the one we should get behind."
"At the end of the day, the overwhelming majority of people will save money on their health care bills. I do think it is appropriate to acknowledge that taxes will go up. They will go up significantly for the wealthy and for virtually everybody, the tax increase will be substantially less," Sanders said.
Buttigieg rebutted,"I don't understand why you believe the only way to deliver affordable coverage is to obliterate private plans. We could achieve that same big, bold goal ... we're competing to be president for the day after Trump." Former Vice President Joe Biden, who has made clear that if elected president, his family would not be involved with foreign businesses, was questioned about why he allowed his son to serve on the board of a Ukraine natural gas company when he was vice president.
"If you do not hold him to account, if there is not justice, not only have we have failed this moment, our Constitution, and our country," O'Rourke said while saying why he believes impeachment is necessary."We have failed everyone who has sacrificed and laid their lives down on the line. And we cannot do that."
"I support impeachment, but we shouldn't have any illusions that impeaching Donald Trump will be one, be successful, or, two, erase the problems that got him elected in 2016," he said, before adding,"These are the problems that got Donald Trump elected. The fourth industrial revolution. And that is going to accelerate and grow more serious regardless of who is in the oval office. The fact is, Donald Trump when we are talking about him, we are losing.
"Well, it's a mistake on the part of Republicans who enable the president whose actions are as offensive to their own supposed values as they are to the values that we all share," Buttigieg said."Look, the president has left congress with no choice, and this is not just about holding the president accountable for not just things emerging in these investigations, but actions that he has confessed to on television.
President Trump has received backlash from both sides on the aisle for his recent decision to remove troops from Syria. Many critics, including Klobuchar, said that we have abandoned longtime U.S. allies. With many calling on the Democratic lawmakers to lay out a timetable for their impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, Harris says that Trump is the"most corrupt and unpatriotic president we have ever had" and that the impeachment inquiry won't take long.
Biden continued his hammering of Trump, taking a swipe at the incumbent president, saying"I agree with Bernie, Sen. Sanders -- this is the most corrupt president in modern history and, I think, all of our history." "Impeachment is the way we establish this man will not be allowed to break the law over and over again," she said.Tonight is the largest presidential primary debate yet with 12 candidates on the stage. And this is actually billionaire Tom Steyer’s first debate of the primary. He’s also one of the eight who have already qualified for the November debate, so this won’t be the last you see of him — and it may not be the last you see of debates where more than 10 candidates qualify.
Today, one source told ABC News that the campaign understands one breakout moment, or one jab, is evidently not enough to move the polls for O'Rourke. Earlier on Tuesday, after going on a walk as part of her debate day routine, Warren met with the winner of a contest her campaign held for a supporter to fly out to the debate and attend as one of her guests.
While the same 10 candidates who participated in the third presidential debate a month ago in Houston, hosted by ABC News and Univision, will appear on stage, both Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who reclaimed a podium after missing the cut last month, and Tom Steyer, a billionaire activist who entered the race in July and will be a newcomer to the stage this time around, will join their Democratic rivals.
If something is going to shake up the race before the Iowa caucuses, it’s likely to be a debate. So ABC News partner FiveThirtyEight teamed up with Ipsos to once again track how Tuesday’s debate, hosted by CNN and The New York Times, affected likely primary voters’ feelings about the candidates. The FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos poll, conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel, will interview the same group of voters twice, on either side of the debate, to capture both the “before” and “after” picture.
Many of the candidates vying for a spot on the 2020 ticket now have launched thinly veiled jabs against the veteran lawmaker -- maintaining full-throated support, while in the same breath saying they themselves would never allow their cabinet members’ families to sit on a foreign board, as Hunter Biden did during the Obama administration.
Flanking Biden on the other side will be Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, 78, who after suffering a heart attack, vowed to make it to the debate stage amid questions about his health and ability to keep up with the rigorous pace of the campaign trail. On Monday, Booker started to draw dividing lines with his opponents, criticizing the South Bend mayor for equating gun buybacks to a"confiscation" of firearms.
