Bernie Sanders' rivals seek to stall his rise at South Carolina debate

WASHINGTON - Mr Bernie Sanders' rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination will be looking to put a brake on his momentum in Tuesday night's debate, their last encounter before a next round of primaries that likely will set the course of the rest of the race.

They will be joined by Ms Elizabeth Warren, Ms Amy Klobuchar and Mr Tom Steyer at the debate sponsored by CBS and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute. After a decisive victory in Saturday's Nevada caucuses, a win in the New Hampshire primary and securing the popular vote in Iowa, Mr Sanders is leading or tied for the top spot in many of those states, with Mr Bloomberg and Mr Biden fighting for runner-up status.

The former New York mayor was besieged by his rivals, particularly Ms Warren, who took him to task over stop-and-frisk policing policies, allegations of a hostile work environment for women at his company and for self-funding his campaign at record levels.The attacks on Mr Bloomberg from the Sanders and Warren campaigns have continued through the week. Mr Bloomberg has fired back at Mr Sanders on his record on gun control.

Mr Sanders also said in a CNN town hall on Monday the Brady Bill was more than two decades ago and that he now supports removing the legal immunity.
