What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate
Warren is asked about unifying the country and talks about the wealth tax, which actually is fairly popular with the public but is likely to be a very intense fight in Washington with a GOP that very strongly opposes tax increases.
In the FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos poll conducted this week, 12.6 percent of people said wealth and income inequality was the most important issue to them in the Democratic primary. Here’s who those respondents thought would be best at handling the issue. (See other results from the poll here.)

Andrea Mitchell asked an interesting question of Biden, along the lines of, “Is your theory of Republicans working with you in office at all invalidated by Republicans supporting an investigation of you and your son?” He pivoted to his ability to win the election and win a Democratic majority in the Senate. But I wish he had answered that question.
