Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: 'I'm running for president to be the Democratic nominee that rebuilds our Democratic party.' DemDebate
The fifth Democratic primary debate convened 10 candidates on stage Wednesday night in Georgia, a state trending more purple due in part to shifting demographics, as the splintered field struggles to confront the party's mounting concerns over defeating President Donald Trump and more Democrats both formally and potentially join the fold.
For the first time, the roster of this debate, which is co-hosted by MSNBC and the Washington Post and will be held at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta -- another sign of a diversifying electorate in a once-reliably red state -- doesn't feature former Texas Rep.

Despite threading calls for big, structural change in her stump speech, Warren's latest health care plan outlines a gradual path to achieving a full-scale Medicare for All system that would stretch three quarters into her first term in 2023. With some distance between the the top-tier and the rest of the pack, Biden, Buttigieg, Sanders and Warren are focusing their time sharpening their pitches for a return to normalcy, generational change, a political revolution and fundamental, structural change, respectively -- underscoring a divide within party most recently brought to the forefront by a one-time candidate who will not be on the stage.
