Elbow bumps and no audience as Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden clash on tackling Covid-19

Image: Pablo Martinez Monsivais/PA Images Image: Pablo Martinez Monsivais/PA Images FORMER VICE PRESIDENT Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders used last night’s Democratic debate to cast themselves as best-positioned person to lead the United States through a global pandemic.

The coronavirus outbreak has rapidly reshaped nearly all aspects of American life, shutting schools across the country and significantly curtailing travel. After a sluggish start to the primary season, Biden has surged to the front of the field, drawing overwhelming support from black voters and consolidating the backing of several more moderate rivals who have dropped out of the race.

Still, he appeared determined to draw sharp contrasts with Biden throughout the debate, challenging him aggressively on the Iraq War and free trade deals. Sanders, a fierce liberal critic of Wall Street, opposed the earlier bailout and said it would be a mistake to take a similar approach now. Instead, he suggested a tax on the wealthiest Americans.
