This is the last debate been super tuesday next week. Former Vice President joe biden is hoping for a win in South Carolina this weekend to resurrect his campaign. The other moderates on the stage made sure to attack each other, as well, with former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg trying to rebounds from that disastrous first debate performance. For the others on the stage, the goal is still to continue the one standing one week from today. Were keeping a close eye on the markets. U. S.

Good morning. We had a lot of back and forth, a lot of energy last night, a lot of yelling.

Look, these candidates have a lot on the line here in South Carolina. Its the last time theyre all going to be on the stage together before saturdays primary. Then, of course, super tuesdays contest. Im hearing my name mentioned a little bit tonight. [ laughter ] i wonder why. Reporter with frontrunner status, Bernie Sanders took his turn in the hot seat in a tense and sometimes chaotic debate. Bernie and i agree on a lot of things, but i think i would make a better president than bernie. You do something for the people of america instead of a bunch of broken promises that sound good on bumper stickers. Bernie hasnt passed much of anything. Reporter after taking the heat last week, Michael Bloomberg was ready to strike against sanders, questioning his electability. Vladimir putin thinks that donald trump should be president of the United States. And thats why russia is helping you get elected so youll lose to him. Oh mr. Putin, if im president of the United States, trust me, youre not going to interfere in any more american elections. Reporter sanders against defending his comments, praisesing cuban dictator praising cuban dictator fidel castro. I have opposed authortarianism. And he made progress in cuba on education. [ boos ] really . The fact, he does not, did not, has never embraced an authoritarian regime and does not know. Reporter Pete Buttigieg warning a sanders nomination could hurt democrats chances in congress. Look, if you want to keep the house in democratic hands, you might want to check with the people who turned the house blue. 40 democrats who are not running on your platform.

Reporter the former Vice President also taking aim at billionaire tom steyer. You talk about concerned about race, well, my good friend at the end of this platform, he, in fact, bought a system that was a private prison system. After after he knew that, in fact, what happened was they hogtied young men in prison here in this state. The prison, thinking theyd do a better job. I investigated and sold it. Since then ive worked to end the use of private prints in my home state, and private prisons in my home state, and we ended it. You wrote the crime bill put hundreds of thousands of young black and latino men not true reporter Elizabeth Warren offering rare attacks against her fellow progressive. Bernie and i both want to see universal health care, but bernies plan doesnt explain how to get there. I dug in, i did the work, and then bernies team trashed me for it. Reporter but saved ammunition for bloomberg. The fact that he cannot earn the trust of the core of the Democratic Party means he is the riskiest candidate standing on this stage. All right reporter Amy Klobuchar calling for some civility. If we spend the next four months tearing our party apart, were going to watch donald trump spend the next four years tearing our country apart. Reporter another full day of campaigning for the democratic homes here in South Carolina.

Bernie, i was talking about i want to send those democrats back to the United States house, but listen to them when they say that they dont want to be out there defending [ all talking at once ] Vice President biden, please. I guess the only way to do this is jump in and speak as long as you should. Heres the deal i guess that is the way to do it. I notice thats what you do here on new day which is why my segments are always so short. Im going to speak over you any time you speak like this right now. It was raukous debate in South Carolina. Frontrunner Bernie Sanders taking the brunt of the attacks from his rivals. So has the deck been revufled this morning . Joining reshuffled this morning . Joining us, political commentary and form house member bacari sellers, and the executive director of justice democrats, alexander rojas. Thank you so much for getting up for this special edition of new day. Bacari, give us your take. The election has to come, i think joe biden would do extremely well. I think last night was the first time in Bernie Sanders history of running for the president of the United States he was the frontrunner. I thought it was an amazing night for democrats. We got a chance to exchange ideas. I do think there are people who should not be on that stage anymore. I think that youll see the punitive damag Pete Buttigiegs of the world, the Amy Klobuchars of the world, even the Elizabeth Warrens. If they dont do well on tuesday they have to find another way to affect the outcome of the race. Its not running for president Pete Buttigieg won some or tied some of the early contests. Why doesnt he deserve a place on that stage . Well, i mean, he won the first race. Thats fair to say. I also think you have to build a diverse coalition. There were people last night who were running to win South Carolina, and there were others who were just running because this was the next stop in South Carolina. And i think that when you saw somebody like joe biden for example, i think you saw somebody like tom steyer trying to win South Carolina, there were others who were just here because it was a stop on the map. And i think that what youre realizing is if you cannot win in South Carolina, if you cannot do well in South Carolina which is indicative of the rest of the way, then you cannot build the coalition necessary to be the democratic nominee. Im going to equity something that i heard bacari said, that last night was the first away game that Bernie Sanders had to play on the debate stage. It was the first time where he wasnt commanding with maybe a home crowd audience there. And you heard it. Heres one example actually, literally where you heard the not hometown audience like Bernie Sanders. This had to do with the castro issue. What i said is what barack obama said in terms of cuba. That cuba made progress on education. Yes, i think [ boo ] really . Really . So thats atmospherics right there. There was more than that some some of the other candidates including for Michael Bloomberg who raised the issue that a lot of establishment for lack of a word democrats have been raising the last few days which is they say Bernie Sanders simply cant beat donald trump, and only that, it means doom for the whole party. Listen. If you keep on going, we will elect bernie, bernie will lose to donald trump, and donald trump and the house and the senate and some of the state houses will all go red, and then be between gerrymandering and appointing judges for the next 20 or 30 years were going to live with there catastrophe. Alexandra, how did senator sanders emerge from the away game . I think that he emerged pretty pretty still as the frontrunner. I think as he was on stage he was the clear democratic frontrunner. He took hits from all sides alongside mayor bloomberg. I think the thing that is is i think were consistently surprise busy in the media or surprised about in the media or as pundits is the appearance of Bernie Sanders maybe being angry or this debate being raucous. I think that a lot of people respond to him constantly centering the fact that 500,000 americans are sleeping on the street right now, it 0,000 of which are 30,000 of which are veterans. When he talks about legalizing marijuana and expunging the records of thousands of black and brown young men that have been incarcerated unfairly in our criminal justice system, that those ideas are popular and hes been able to really talk about those. I also think that senator warren had a really great debate. Again being able to focus on someone like mayor bloomberg who i think is the real risk of a general election candidate on stage when it comes to being able it defeat donald trump. Bacari, i want to ask about how joe biden did. A lot of people were watching to see if he can maintain his frontrunner status in South Carolina. As you point out, he brought up issues that are near and dear to south carolinians. And he fought for he fought for the microphone in a way that he had been a little bit deferential. I mean, weve talked about how maybe a crowded stage is not his format. He doesnt love to big foot i think other people. But last night, he dove in. Listen to this moment bernie, bernie, in fact, hasnt passed much of anything. The fact of the matter is okay, but i no, no. I get to answer that look, the fact is youre youre out of time. Im not. You spoke overtime, im going to talk. Crowd liked that. How did you think his entire night was . Well, i think a lot of people going into the debate rightfully so had the question about the vitality of joe biden and whether or not he could, you know, undergo the rigors of not just running for president but being the president of the United States. I think last night, you know, i saw kay benningfield last night, Simone Sanders last night, t. J. Duckworth, i think is his name, last night. And its somebody the rest of us got to see. Somebody fighting for the time, who would fight for the country, who would fight to be the nominee. So i think that there was a question going into the debate last night that many south carolinians had. That many people had going into super tuesday, whether or not joe biden could, you know, withstand the rigor. And i think joe biden proved that. Let me also comment just briefly because this has been driving me completely insane. Bernie sanders as president of the United States, he cannot expunge the records of those individuals charged with marijuana crimes. Can he stop saying that and everyone else . Marijuana crimes are state crimes. The president of the United States cannot expunge those records. With all due respect to everyone who keeps saying that, that is something that cannot happen. And individual know that. People in South Carolina, tennessee, arkansas, mississippi, alabama, north carolina, know that that is not something thats realistic. But it feeds into the fairtive that Bernie Sanders narrative that Bernie Sanders is promising things that cannot happen. The president of the United States is not going to expunge records from marijuana crimes. It simply cannot happen. I will say, though, if you go to a Bernie Sanders event near a college campus, which i have, he mentions the word marijuana and the crowd goes wild. Im not mad at that problem. Marijuana is good for us all. Im saying that you cannot, you cannot expunge records for that. Thats all im saying. I think what we should do is take a quick break. For a lot of the reasons. No, we have a lot more to talk about in the debate. I am curious as to what happens, the sequence of events that happens after South Carolina. If for instance joe biden manages to win South Carolina, what happens before next week . Before super tuesday . Is mealtime a struggle . Introducing oreida potato pay. Where oreida golden crinkles are your crispy currency to pay for bites of this. With this. When kids wont eat dinner, potato pay them to. Oreida. Win at mealtime. Saving for avas college.
