Democratic candidates spent much of the second round of 2020 primary debates sniping over the differences in their health care proposals.
CNN’s Chris Cillizza named California Sen. Kamala Harris a “loser” of the debate over her handling of health care policy criticisms:
“On health care and criminal justice reform, [Harris] struggled to defend repeated attacks on her record; she wound up simply saying that everyone else on stage wasn’t telling the truth about her record. Really, everyone? Harris didn’t perform badly; she simply didn’t live up to the high expectations that she set for herself in the first debate.”
Harris did punch back at criticisms levied by Biden and the other candidates on stage:
“Under our plan, we will ensure that everyone has access to health care. In 2019 in America, for a Democrat to be running for president with a plan that does not cover everyone, I think, is without excuse.”
Days before the second debate in Detroit, CNN released a poll showing Biden rebounding from the popularity hit his campaign took after the first round in June with 34% support among Democratic voters. Harris slipped to 12% support, trailing Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s 15% and within the margin of error above Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 11%.
