Cory Booker has been tear Joe Biden criminal justice, and although it did not quite match the first Kamala Harris debate on "This little girl was mine" since the first round of debate, it was prepared with zingers.

When they quarreled over their records, Booker said, "Mr. Vice President, there is a saying in my community: you dive into Kool Aid and you do not even know the flavor"

Here is the moment:

Biden's deconstruction by Booker earned him points among some commentators:

Julián Castro was asked what he would do as president to help cities like Baltimore, which Donald Trump recently attacked in racist terms.

He began his response by specifically calling Trump's comments. "The president is a racist, and this was just one more example," Castro said.

He then explained how he would invest in the education and housing systems of cities.

He was asked why he would be the best candidate for "addressing the racial divide in America" Michael Bennet have argued that the country could draw a straight line from slavery to Jim Crow, through the reduction to mbad incarceration.

He then called for education reform to improve public schools and disrupt the pipeline of schools to jail.

Tulsi Gabbard repeatedly attacked Kamala Harris on his record as California Attorney General.

The attacks of the Hawaii congressman are only his last criticisms of Harris since the last debate.

CNN Host Jake Tapper asked Kamala Harris if his position on the bus was actually anything different from Joe BidenS

Harris rejected the premise of Tapper's question as "just plain wrong". "On this issue, we could not be separated," said the California senator about Biden.

Harris then addressed the issue of Eric Garner death. When Tapper tried to convince her to wrap up her answer, she cut it off: "It's important."

Kirsten Gillibrand critical Bill of Blasio so as not to fire the policeman related to death by suffocation Eric Garner.

"He should be fired. He should be fired now, "said Gillibrand.

The protesters had previously interrupted the debate to request the dismissal of the officer.

Joe Biden defended his criminal justice reform plan and generally denied any responsibility for mbad incarceration, which many believe was stimulated by the 1994 crime bill that Biden helped develop.

Cory Booker, who made criminal justice a key part of his campaign and called Biden's plan "unsuitable", said Biden was trying to extinguish the fire he had burned. "You can not now design a plan to extinguish this fire," said Booker.

The animated discussion briefly failed when Biden accidentally called Booker "president". He then adjusted it for "future president". But the question was whether Biden had momentarily confused Booker with … another recent president.

"I am grateful that he has already badumed my presidency," laughed Booker.

Biden then attacked Booker's record as mayor of Newark. "I'm shocked you're doing it [want to compare records]Replied Booker. He said his plan "cancels the damage" of the 1994 crime bill.

The Guardian's environmental journalist, Emily Holden, writes:

More than an hour after the start of the debate, the moderators have not yet questioned the candidates on the climate crisis.

They spent most of their time in health care, before moving on to immigration, as previous debates had followed.

Only Jay Inslee even mentioned the climate. He devoted his entire opening statement to rising temperatures around the world and the serious threats they pose to the United States.

"If we make the fight against the climate crisis the top priority of the United States, we will have a chance to save ourselves and the future of our children. This must be our top priority, "said Inslee, touting his plans for a national clean energy campaign. "We are at a turning point and the vital question of our time is whether we are hiding from this challenge or taking it up."

A recent poll Pew notes that Democrats consider climate change to be the most important foreign policy issue: "Of the seven global issues included in a new survey, climate change is the major international threat among Democrats and independents with a democratic tendency (84% consider it a major threat). threat) and the least ranked threat among Republicans and meager Republicans (27%). "

Well, it's going to go viral in the wrong way.

In the midst of a lively discussion about immigration, Don Lemon turned to Kirsten Gillibrand and asked for its response to the points raised by Joe Biden and Cory Booker.

His initial answer? A break followed by "Uh …"

The former vice president seems to be the target on which many of his opponents have focused.

Bill of Blasio in particular continues to aim directly at Joe Biden, probably hoping to get a viral moment of repeated clashes.

But Cory Booker has just joined the fight, accusing Biden of choosing and choosing when he aligns with the Obama Administration. "You can not do it when it suits you and dodge it when it is not," said Booker.

Kamala Harris receives considerable heat online for "demoteing" Joe Biden as a senator rather than his highest-ranking vice-president previously in the debate

Harris is corrected herself. But some speculated that Harris would have retaliated against Biden calling him his "kid" when the couple went on stage.

Jay Inslee landed his first big line of the night, claiming that America no longer needed a "white nationalist" at the White House.

This line could help boost the Washington governor's campaign as he strives to join the debate this fall.
