That’s A Wrap!
OK, folks, that’s it. Night one of the second debate is in the books! We started off talking about health care and had an incisive debate over “Medicare for All” vs. “Medicare for all who want it” vs. more incremental health care plans, and we even hit on questions of electability!
If you missed the debate or want to relive it in all its glory, start at the bottom of this live blog and keep scrolling up. But if that sounds tiresome -- although I promise it’s not that bad -- each member of the team has tried to distill tonight’s key moments and takeaways into a single headline. And do come back tomorrow -- we’re back at 7:30 p.m. for night two!
Without further ado, night one in headlines:
