Sanders savaged Biden's decades-long Senate voting record and demonstrated strength in his rhetoric on healthcare, climate change and foreign policy.
Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden had the most contentious debate of their primary battle in front of just three CNN moderators on Sunday night as Americans practicing social distancing tuned in from their living rooms. And it was a strange one.
The early stages of the debate were dominated by COVID-19, a novel virus that has threatened American life and rattled global economies. The first half hour was polite as the two candidates addressed the pandemic, while taking turns criticizing President Donald Trump's response. Sanders landed the strongest hit, telling voters that the first thing he would do to"save American lives" is to"shut this president up right now.
Expectations for a strong Biden showing were low, given his past gaffes and lackluster performances. But the vice president had one of his strongest performances to date—second to the Nevada debate. He was relaxed, clear and focused, particularly when it came to touting his own electability. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the debate didn't have an audience and the animosity that exists between supporters of Sanders and Biden was missed. But on stage, when the two men weren't attacking each other, they staunchly made the case for their respective ideological wings.
"Look, this is a little bit about leadership as well. Joe talked about bankruptcy. Joe, you helped write that bankruptcy bill," Sanders shot back, before noting that he's held the same policy positions for decades. Democratic presidential hopefuls former US vice president Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders greet each other with an elbow bump as they arrive for the 11th Democratic Party 2020 presidential debate in a CNN Washington Bureau studio in Washington, DC on March 15, 2020.
