What Went Down In The Fourth Democratic Debate

So far, the questions are mostly going to the top tier of candidates, despite the historically crowded stage. That may frustrate the other candidates, but it’s worth remembering that history says someone outside of the top three at this point in the race doesn’t have a great shot of winning. Our former colleague and current friend Harry Enten calculated that there’s only about a 15 percent chance that someone other than Biden, Warren or Sanders wins.

Harris dives into how Republicans across the country are passing new abortion restrictions. That issue has not come up a lot before. All of the candidates are generally opposed to those GOP laws, so not a big difference among the candidates.

According to that Kaiser Family Foundation poll I just mentioned, Democrats do want to hear more about reproductive health care issues! Fifty-eight percent said that too little time has been spent on that issue. And Harris got big applause for it.
