Democratic White House candidates have attacked President Donald Trump but also clashed sharply with one another during Democratic debate, where a smaller field allowed lesser-known candidates to shine against the frontrunners.
One day after Trump's ignominious impeachment, seven candidates united to declare the president must be defeated at the 2020 ballot box.
"We need to restore the integrity of the presidency," said frontrunner Joe Biden on Thursday, who accused Trump of "dumbing down" the office "beyond what I even thought he would do."
Senator Bernie Sanders, second in the standings, blasted Trump as "running the most corrupt administration in the modern history of this country," while fellow Senator Elizabeth Warren said the president ignores the poor to do "everything he can for the wealthy and the well-connected."
Klobuchar was quick to remind viewers of her Midwestern roots as she called for "returning to sanity" in 2020. She also appeared to challenge the accomplishments of Buttigieg, a fellow Midwesterner, labeling him a "local official."
"Because make no mistake, he'll be there at the ballot box."
