most other times he claims president obama, says his name again and again to link with him. i had 3 different moments and someone who had a good night tonight was cory booker. he attacks joe biden a number of times but specifically on criminal justice reform and his record. a person enjoying this debate most right now is donald trump, pitting democrats against each other. i was raised by two civil rights parents who told me always keep your eyes on the prize. we can t have it both ways. you invoke president obama more than anybody in this campaign, you can t do it when it is convenient and dodging when it is not. if you want to compare records i m shocked that you do. i m happy to do that because all the problems he s talking about that he created you are drinking the kool-aid and don t even know the flavor.
need and their families like lower prescription drug prices. i wanted to show people tonight how i would beat donald trump. thank you. back to you. thank you. a lot of activity here. let s go, talking about how candidates went after joe biden tonight. let s show you what we were talking about. we will not be taken to task by senator biden or senator bennett s plan. what he is saying is absolutely inaccurate. don t know what math you do in new york. one is learned the lessons of the past and one of us hasn t. if you cross the border illegally it is a crime. i didn t hear your response when the issue came up with other deportations. you need to be a lot of questions. i keep my recommendation in private. what the president helped author in 94 was a mistake. at this always
candidate did as well. listen to this exchange between biden and julian castro on decriminalizing illegal border crossings. if you cross the border illegally you should be sent back. it is a crime. one of us has learned the lessons of the past and one of us hasn t. we need guts on this issue. just enough to say the plan doesn t make sense. reporter: one of biden s best defenses came when kirsten gillibrand a taxes record on women. what did you mean when you said when a woman works outside the home it is resulting in deterioration of family? my decease wife works raising our children. came to syracuse university with the answer was wonderful. i m passionate about making sure women are treated equally.
justice reform. we got fox team coverage tonight, bret baer, and peter doocy on spin room duty again. we start with kristin fisher for look at the night s highlights. reporter: joe biden defended himself more forcefully than he did in the first debate but still struggled to effectively attack one of his biggest competitors greatest weaknesses. kamala harris s record as attorney general of california. he was more effective in attacking the new healthcare plan but harris had response ready. the senator has had several plans so far and any time someone says you are going to get something in 10 years you ve got to wonder why takes 10 years. you can t beat donald trump with doubletalk on this plan. your plan does not cover everyone in america. in 2019 in america for democrat to be running for president with a plan that does not cover everyone it is about excuses. reporter: it wasn t just harris going after the front runner, almost every other
but the role of the debate, republican or democrat is to look for the differences in the candidates. do you see that there are some differences or do you think they are monolithic and trying to move further to the left? they are guaranteed moving further to the left, not sure cory understands what a debate is, you re supposed to debate ideas. they believe in the idea of an open border and guaranteed income but they also want government to be the answer for all their problems and they ve moved so far to the left on not sure they took field democrats with them. i don t think joe biden survives. think about the turmoil of the last week, nancy pelosi surrendering to this socialism, two debates that only talked about socialism and then you watch the arm of the democratic campaign committee actually fire their top 5 people. they are in a spiral down not knowing where to end up.
