Top Contenders In Democratic Race Under Fire In Debate

Top contenders in the Democratic race for president, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, came under fire from rivals during Wednesday night’s debate in Detroit. Biden defended so-called “Obamacare” and a public option for a “Medicare for All” overhaul. Harris’ support for that health care plan drew criticism from Michael Bennet as a vehicle for raising taxes on the middle class while Tulsi Gabbard chided Harris for jailing thousands over marijuana violations as a prosecutor.
