I have to tell you brian williams, our colleague, will be in to anchor our live post game analysis tonight as well. Thats coming up. Now, this is whats happening politically. Tonight both debates are already clearly helping further focus the issues as well as divisions in this large democratic field. Health care a big issue, i can tell you, on both nights where the fundamental debate, what is the best policy, what is possible, and what is radical. I dont understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk when what we really cant do and shouldnt fight for. [ cheers and applause ] i dont get it. Congressman delaney just referred to it as bad policy, and previously he has called the idea political suicide that will just get President Trump reelected. What do you say to congressman delaney . Youre wrong. I think if were going to force americans to make these radical changes, theyre not going to go along throw your hands up. Debates are
Let me start with you, where does joe biden go today and how is he feeling . Hard to over state how much the Biden Campaign feels better about last nights performance compared to what we saw in miami earlier. He take out strong, took the fight to donald trump right away in the opening statement. As promised and stuck to the plan, made the comparison with Kamala Harris on health care. When he played the malarkey card, he has come to play. He did learn lessons. Much more receptive to krilt simple of his performance and mored interest in learning about his opponents record to use it in the debate. Not to say it was completely flawless performance by any means. What biden mss tell us, some he was able to introduce about rivals. Hes a much better known commodity among voters. Those attacks do less lasting damage to him than they might do to Kamala Harris. Where do we go from here, one indication we know biden feels better we expect to talk with joe biden today. Hes going to make a stop in d
Lets get sophisticated about this, okay. How long do you think these court fights will take . We will proceed when we have what we need to proceed, not one day sooner. Their advocacy for impeachment only gives me leverage. I have no complaint with what they are doing. Im willing to take whatever heat there is there to say the decision will be made in a timely fashion. This isnt endless. But the clock is ticking. The number of democrats who support opening an impeachment inquiry is now at 96. Judiciary committee democrats, including the chairman, have debated opening an inquiry without Speaker Pelosi onboard. Pelosi met this morning with congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez, another show of outreach, and an attempt to paper over big and very public rifts with the new york freshman. In this postmeeting picture, you see it there, all smiles and a promise from pelosi to work together. But a clear message from pelosi afterwards to congressman ocasiocortez and others who want to beat the im
New lifeline. He will be back. Barack obama knew who i was. He chose me and said it was the best decision. He couldnt get his central message about what he wanted to do with this country. That wasnt good enough for 2020. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is a special edition of new day. We are live in detroit. It is the morning after. The morning after the democratic debate. It was bruising here on cnn. Particularly for former Vice President joe biden. Just about every other candidate on the stage was attacking one aspect of bidens record or another. You got the sense that joe biden was ready. Some of the analysis this morning, maybe he didnt thrive. But he survived. And one key question we will ask is he is stronger front runner this morning or a weaker front runner than going in . Senator Kamala Harris came out swinging. She landed some blows on biden, but she had a tougher time when she was the target. Harris was challenged on her record as a
Mr. Vice president , you didnt answer the question. Reporter but biden came swinging, too. I have guts enough to say it doesnt make sense. You cant beat President Trump with double talk. Reporter he brought back one of his old catch phrases. This idea is a bunch of malarkey here. I dont know what math you do in california, but i tell ya, thats a lot of money. Your plan by contrast leaves out almost 10 million americans so i think that you should really think about what youre saying. Reporter after senator cory booker brought up bidens support of a controversial crime bill in the 90s, biden lashing out. The bill hes talking about in our administration we passed. Thats the bill you passed. The fact of the matter; secondly, there was nothing done for the entire eight years he was mayor. There was nothing done to deal with the Police Department that was corrupt. Mr. Vice president , theres a saying in my community, youre dipping into the koolaid and you dont even know the flavor. You need
