What Went Down In The Third Democratic Debate
Harris’s answer on health care focused mostly on Trump’s attempts to kill the Affordable Care Act. That’s not a bad strategy, since Democrats are more enthusiastic about building on the ACA than replacing it with something like a Medicare for All plan.
The candidates haven’t spent much time talking about Trump until Harris just now.
Who’s talking about Trump?
How often Trump has been mentioned by candidates participating in the Democratic debate, as of 8:32 p.m. Thursday
| Candidate | Trump Mentions | |
|---|---|---|
| Kamala Harris | 9 | |
| Julián Castro | 3 | |
| Joe Biden | 1 | |
| Cory Booker | 1 | |
| Beto O’Rourke | 1 | |
| Bernie Sanders | 1 | |
| Pete Buttigieg | 0 | |
| Amy Klobuchar | 0 | |
| Elizabeth Warren | 0 | |
| Andrew Yang | 0 |
Damn, really feels like all these candidates are reading an act of contrition for the last debate when they all attacked Obama policies — quite a few people, including Harris just now, have specifically praised Obama before making their point.
