The DemDebate kicks off in South Carolina. Sen. Bernie Sanders is asked how well-received a Democratic socialist would be in the United States
Seven Democratic presidential candidates meet ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primary — and one week from Super Tuesday, when California and more than a dozen other states vote. Joe Biden, Michael R. Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer and Elizabeth Warren debate from 5 to 7 p.m. PST on CBS. Join us for live analysis from L.A. Times political journalists and two subscribers.Hi everyone. This is Seema Mehta, a political reporter in Los Angeles.
After months of scrapping around the edges, the gloves really came off in last week’s debate, and I expect to see more of the same tonight. Much of the fire was aimed at Michael Bloomberg last week, and he did not handle it well. Tonight, I’ll be looking to see if he learned anything from last week and whether he can improve his performance. I also expect to see a lot of scrutiny of Bernie Sanders after his strong victory in the Nevada caucuses.
I'm looking to see how the candidates talk about the weight of America's history of racism toward African Americans, given that the Civil War also started here and the city still deals with rampant poverty, housing segregation, poor schools, bias in policing and other problems in the local black community that are the legacy of racial oppression.The subject of reparations just might come up tonight. Read my piece from last summer on it, reported from the Charleston area, here.
