DemDebate takeaways Biden commits to choosing woman as running mate. Sanders says “in all likelihood, I will.” Both try to cast themselves as best-positioned to lead through a pandemic. Biden appears determined to keep focus on the general election.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, left, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., right, participate in a Democratic presidential primary debate at CNN Studios in Washington, Sunday, March 15, 2020.
“This is bigger than any one of us — this calls for a national rallying for one another,” Biden said. Biden appeared determined to keep his focus on the general election, making direct overtures to Sanders’ supporters and committing for the first time to selecting a woman as his running mate if he becomes the Democratic nominee. After Biden’s announcement, Sanders said he would “in all likelihood” do the same.
“One of the reasons that we are unprepared, and have been unprepared, is we don’t have a system. We’ve got thousands of private insurance plans,” said Sanders, who backs a sweeping government-run health insurance program. “That is not a system that is prepared to provide health care to all people in a good year, without the epidemic.”
