What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Harris mentions the pay gap, which differs by both gender and race. Today is actually Latina Equal Pay Day — this is how long a Latina would have to work in order to get the same wages as a white man was paid in 2018.

Here’s what Trump is tweeting out mid-debate.

Klobuchar is really trying to position herself as the practical option here. She says she’d love to mandate more leave but she wants to be honest about the costs. Harris, by contrast, has proposed six months of paid family leave, justifying it with an answer about the various care burdens on working women and how we need to be doing more to support those women. Both answers said a lot about how they’re trying to position themselves as candidates.
