On tonight's DemDebate stage, Joe Biden responded to Trump's allegation that the former vice president improperly tried to aid his son Hunter's business interests in Ukraine
WESTERVILLE, Ohio - Several Democratic presidential contenders launched an attack on surging U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren on healthcare and taxes during a debate on Tuesday, pushing her to explain how she would pay for ambitious proposals including her Medicare for All plan.
Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar said Warren was being evasive on her plan for universal healthcare and that it would mean higher taxes. Buttigieg chided Warren, who boasts she has a plan for everything, for not releasing a detailed healthcare plan with an explanation of how she would fund it.The sharp exchanges were a sign of the heightened stakes among the dozen candidates cramming the debate stage in the electoral battleground state of Ohio. It was the most crowded debate so far in the Democratic race to pick a challenger to Republican President Donald Trump in the November 2020 election.
She said she would not sign any bill that required a tax increase on middle-class families and promised the Medicare for All proposal, which is also backed by her fellow progressive, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, would lower costs for everyday Americans. U.S. Senator Cory Booker warned the Democrats against tearing each other down during the debates, and urged them to keep their eyes on the goal of beating Trump.
