Bernie Sanders to be in focus at South Carolina debate as rivals aim to slow his surge

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Surging front-runner Bernie Sanders will be in the hot seat at the Democratic debate in South Carolina on Tuesday, when his six presidential rivals try to derail his growing momentum before the next big round of nominating contests.

It will be the third debate this month, and the 10th overall, for the Democrats vying for the right to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 election. Tuesday's face-off will run from 8 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. ET."Sanders will probably be the focus of attacks this time, but I expect there are going to be several people in the line of fire from all directions," said Kelly Dietrich, a Democratic strategist who trains candidates.

His $16.3 trillion climate change proposal would be paid for with fees and taxes on fossil fuel companies and by reducing defense spending, as well as projected tax revenue increases from new jobs it would create.Biden's deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in a statement that Sanders'"back-of-the-napkin math" did not even begin to cover the full costs, including leaving half of the at- least $30 trillion price tag for his"Medicare for All" unexplained.

Buttigieg, the moderate former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has led the charge against Sanders, labeling him a polarizing candidate who would repel new voters. Biden has led opinion polls in the state, but Sanders has been chipping away at his support and showed signs in Nevada he has expanded his backing to a more diverse electorate. Sanders won most of the state's sizable Latino voting bloc, entrance polls showed, and finished second to Biden among black voters.
