"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." 8:38 p.m.: Cory Booker backs up Joe Biden about his family and UkraineIn a staunch defense of the vice president, Sen. Cory Booker admonished the moderators for"literally using Donald Trump's lies."
8:35 p.m. Automation and job loss takes center stageWith automation threatening to wipe out the jobs of tens of millions of citizens, Sanders says he has a plan to ensure jobs are protected. 8:33 p.m.: Kamala Harris demands a question on reproductive rightsCalifornia 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." 8:20 p.m.: Joe Biden tackles his son's role in foreign businessesFormer 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.
— ABC News Politics October 15, 2019 During a follow-up answer, Biden added,"My son's statement speaks for itself." " Two years ago, I started the Need to Impeach movement because I knew there was something desperately wrong at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, that we did have the most corrupt president in the country and that only the voice and the will of the American people would drag Washington to see it as a matter of right and wrong, not of political expediency," Steyer said."So, in fact, impeaching and removing the president is something that the American people are demanding.
"I think that it should continue to play its course out, to gather all the information, provide that to the American people, recognizing that that is the only way forward." "We can walk and chew gum at the same time," he told the crowd inside the debate hall."All of us are out there every single day talking about what we're going to do to make sure that people cross the graduation stage, that more families have great health care, that more folks are put to work in places like Ohio, where Donald Trump has broken his promises, because Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania actually in the latest jobs data have lost jobs, not gained them.
8:09 p.m.: Cory Booker weighs in on potential impeachment trialSen. Cory Booker, one of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was asked Tuesday night in his first question about if he could be fair in an impeachment trial, calling on all Democrats to be fair. "And he did it in plain sight. He has given us the evidence and he tried to cover it up, putting it in the special server. And there's been a clear consciousness of guilt. This will not take very long. Donald Trump needs to be held accountable."
"I think in terms of the recent Ukrainian incident, the idea that we have a president of the United States who is prepared to hold back national security money to one of our allies in order to get dirt on a presidential candidate is beyond comprehension," Sanders said. 7:46 p.m.: FiveThirtyEight's analysis live blog is liveTonight is the largest presidential primary debate yet with 12 candidates on the stage.

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.
The debate is slated to air at 8 p.m. ET on Oct. 15. The moderators will be CNN anchors Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett, and New York Times national editor Marc Lacey. Biden is walking into the debate hall on less steady ground: between fending off President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims about the former vice president's inappropriate behavior surrounding his son Hunter’s Ukrainian business dealings, lackluster fundraising numbers in the third quarter of 2019, and his lead in national polls slipping.
Meanwhile, Warren -- who has sought to avoid clashing with her Democratic rivals before a national audience so far, instead focusing on her pitch for big, structural change -- might become a key target for the lower-polling candidates who are struggling to make their mark on the electorate. But beyond the three top-tier candidates, the others senators vying for the White House, including New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, California Sen. Kamala Harris, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, are likely to take the stage with renewed urgency to turn a breakout moment into a tangible spike, as the crowded field enters the critical four months before first votes are cast in the Iowa caucuses in early February.
