What Went Down In The Third Democratic Debate
The candidates are not spending a ton of time talking about Trump tonight. The table below has changed only slightly in the past hour.

How often Trump has been mentioned by candidates participating in the Democratic debate, as of 9:22 p.m. Thursday
| Candidate | Trump Mentions | |
|---|---|---|
| Kamala Harris | 10 | |
| Julián Castro | 6 | |
| Cory Booker | 3 | |
| Beto O’Rourke | 2 | |
| Joe Biden | 1 | |
| Bernie Sanders | 1 | |
| Elizabeth Warren | 1 | |
| Andrew Yang | 1 | |
| Pete Buttigieg | 0 | |

Support for increased legal immigration has also increased over the past few years, particularly among Democrats.
The policy discussion has been in-depth as usual tonight, though the guns and immigration discussions had fewer numbers than the health care debate. But it still assumes a lot of voter knowledge. Even the process discussion is wonky — discussing the filibuster, budget reconciliation, parliamentarian reform and executive order constitutionality.
