Pete Buttigieg is polling ahead of the pack in multiple early states, and came out nearly unscathed during November's match up. That was not the case Thursday.
“We have to be able to get things done, and if we can’t convince them, we go out and beat them like we did in the 2018 election, in red states and in purple states,” he declaredthat there would be "significant improvement across the board" if countries were led by women, and that "old men" needed to get"out of the way," Biden joked that he is"going to guess he wasn’t talking about me either,” earning laughter from the audience.
While Yang hasn't missed a debate thus far, he had more airtimetime than previous debates, and was able to expand on his answers with less candidates to compete with. He also got some chuckles from the audience after saying, "if you get too many men alone and leave us alone for awhile, we kind of become morons."Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar strategically acted as a peacekeeper a few times Thursday, touting her Midwestern roots by stopping a few word-battles between other candidates on stage with a"come on, you guys." She then seamlessly dovetailed into her own stance on the issue.
A November report by the New York Times found that health care had dominated the debates so far, with 95.4 minutes were spent on the issue, besting the second-most mentioned issue of foreign policy by over 22 minutes. Sen. Cory Booker, who also didn’t make the stage, was at least mentioned by entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
