Read the highlights from the 2020 Democratic debate in New Hampshire.
Seven Democrats appeared on the Manchester, New Hampshire, debate stage, just days before that state's pivotal election, and in the wake of the disastrous Iowa caucus, which failed to deliver a clear winner. Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Elizabeth Warren , former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders participate in the Democratic presidential primary debate in the Sullivan Arena at St. Anselm College on February 07, 2020 in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who was looking to regain frontrunner status in New Hampshire, scored some of the loudest cheers of the night when she called for "a national law to protect the right of a woman's choice" to have an abortion. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg took home the top prizes in Iowa, appearing to be nearly tied for first place.
"But he's unwilling to tell us what the damn thing's going to cost," Biden said. "How much is it going to cost? Who's going to pay for it?"Sanders responded that the "status quo" offered by Biden will cost even more. She pointed to a 2018 tweet in which he expressed full throated support for "Medicare for All." Both Buttigieg and Klobuchar now say moving quickly to a single-payer system is unrealistic.
Biden thanked Buttigieg for his comments, adding that Trump is "gonna make up lies" about whoever becomes the nominee. Warren referenced her housing plan, saying that the United States needs to "start having race-conscious laws."
