What Went Down At The December Democratic Primary Debate

Buttigieg and Biden are essentially answering the economy question in the same way — middle-class voters don’t pay attention to the stock market. But Buttigieg throws in a little RFK riff on poverty, rather than just talking about the middle class. So, small differentiations, I suppose, for the younger of the moderates.

“The middle class is getting killed,” Biden says. This is an interesting argument. Buttigieg says the same — regular people aren’t feeling the growth of the economy.

Between Klobuchar and Yang, they’ve already hit the Midwest by name and the states there, specifically on job losses and USMCA. Between the presidential primary and the Electoral College, this is obviously a key region.
