Sens. Warren, Sanders to split center stage on first night of debate.
DETROIT — Few things illustrate the fundamental shift of the Democratic Party as much as the debate stage lineup Tuesday night: Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders splitting center stage — likely defending the sweeping progressive agendas they've popularized that are now literally at the center of the party's ideological struggle.
"I do expect some fireworks," Adam Green, whose Progressive Change Campaign Committee has backed Warren, told NBC News,"but not between them." Advisers and strategists see a potential for the first night of the debate to turn into a referendum on Warren and Sanders' agenda on issues — like free public college and"Medicare for All," policies that others on the stage, like former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, have railed against as"socialism."
For Sanders, Tuesday may be less about his competition with Warren for the party's progressive base and more about drawing a contrast against someoneon Tuesday night's debate stage: former Vice President Joe Biden, who will debate on Wednesday, the second night of the debate.
