Democratic debate: Buttigieg becomes target as candidates clash in Los Angeles
Klobuchar questions mayor’s political experience as Warren condemns his fundraising tactics
The final Democratic presidential debate of the year brought together seven 2020 candidates in California on Thursday for an at times heated argument over their qualifications, policy proposals and paths to the White House.
On the heels of Donald Trump’s impeachment, the debate, hosted by PBS NewsHour and Politico, opened with the historic events in Washington the day before but quickly pivoted to key issues for Democratic voters, such as social injustice and climate change. Facing repeated attacks was Pete Buttigieg, the South Bend, Indiana, mayor, who has been rising in the polls in early primary states.
