Appeal. I think biden came across as that healer. Early on he had very strong moments. But this is probably both of their best debates. You know, Bernie Sanders was able to slice and dice biden on some really key policy points, holding him accountable for his record, and try to push i agree, i think that bernie went out there with the idea im going to stick up for what i believe in and push this guy to either acknowledge hes not with the real change or to come closer. But i thought if this was the last big moment for Bernie Sanders, if this thing is going to be wrapped up soon and some people say it will, some people say it wont but i think he equated himself well but i dont think he expanded his base tonight. He needs to do that to change the math and dynamics. I dont think he did that, but i think he changed the physics of the party other the past four years. And that shows through tonight. To me, tonight is about coronavirus. People in the country dont have the same ear for differen

He needs to do that in order to change the math, to change the dynamics. I dont think he did that. But i think he changed the physics of this party over this past four years and that shows through tonight as well. Kirsten, to me, tonight is about coronavirus. People in the country dont have the same ear for difference
Were in a National Emergency because of the devastating Global Pandemic of coronavirus. It has killed nearly 6,000 people around the world and 65 dead and more than 3,300 known cases here in the United States. As a result, the debate will focus heavily on the crisis. The setting of the debate is also different. To reduce unnecessary risk of transmission of the virus, cnn, the Democratic National committee and the campaigns moved this debate from phoenix, arizona, to here at cnn studios in washington without any audience. All of this comes as four more states, florida, arizona, ohio and illinois prepare to vote on tuesday with Vice President biden currently leading senator sanders in the race for delegates. Heres what were going to do tonight. Each of you will have 90 seconds to answer questions and 45 seconds for responses and rebuttals. As much as we can, we hope this will be a conversation between the two of you. So lets begin with the most important issue right now, the coronavirus
Mondays are difficult around here because there is so much each weekend to get our arms around, and this just the fourth monday of this young Trump Presidency is proving especially difficult as there are stories on the move right now as we speak.
