LAS VEGAS, Nevada: Democratic presidential front-runner and former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden mounted a fierce defence of Barack Obama's legacy on Saturday after several of his White House rivals attacked that record in debates this week.
Biden appeared at the forum shortly after U.S. Massachusetts Senator and progressive candidate Elizabeth Warren had given her full-throated backing to a"Medicare for All" healthcare plan, a government-run system that would remove roughly 140 million Americans from their private or employer-issued plans.
It was hosted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees , the nation's largest public sector union with 1.4 million members and a sought-after endorsement by the Democratic candidates.The dueling visions on health care, between Biden and other moderates, and the progressives, is part of a broader fight over the future and soul of the Democratic Party as 24 candidates vie to become the nominee to take on U.S.
In the debates this week, several of Biden's rivals delivered harsh assessments of some Obama-era policies, particularly on immigration, accusing Obama of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants and Biden of doing nothing to halt that.
