I followed Harris and Yang tonight. Harris had some strong answers on impeachment and foreign policy, but may be most remembered for attacking Gabbard over her criticism of the Democratic Party and "[spending] four years full time on Fox News criticizing President Obama." Whereas Harris got her big bounce after the first debate by attacking Biden, this time she attacked one of the lower-tier candidates. I'm not really sure where that leaves her given her recent moves to shutter offices in places like New Hampshire to focus on Iowa, but I thought she did have an OK night. As for Yang, I think he had one of the stronger nights of any candidate on stage. The response to how he'd have his first chat with Putin was most notable, saying he'd start off by telling Putin that "I'm sorry I beat your guy." But then the rest of his answer was cogent and sharp, which may not have been the expectation for someone without traditional presidential credentials. It's possible Yang did what I thought he needed to do -- become more than just the universal basic income guy, someone seen as a viable candidate for his party's nomination.
